Chevrolet Sonic: for people who don’t need more GPS
The Chevrolet Sonic is the one-trick-pony on our 10 best list. But what a trick! The Sonic lets you use your smartphone as an in-car navigation system — you probably do that already by trying to angle the smartphone in your direction from the console — and display the output on the LCD in the center stack, control it via dashboard buttons, and hear spoken instructions over the car’s speakers. All you need is the Chevrolet MyLink LCD display, available on the LTZ and RS trim lines, and a $50 option called GoGo Link, which provides navigation software from EnGIS Technologies.
Bring your smartphone into the car, fire up the phone and the car, and you’ve got real navigation, real cheap. MyLink adds a 7-inch LCD display to Chevrolets as well as app connections so you can play Pandora internet radio or Stitcher from the phone through the car audio system. Other automakers link smartphone apps to the car, but not navigation.
GoGo Link is an app that requires MyLink and the color LCD that comes with MyLink. Eventually automakers will come to their senses and figure a way to embed navigation in the price of the car, or for, say $99 extra. Nissan sells navi for $590; the $30,000 Hyundai Azera has it standard, as do many luxury cars. MyLink is also on higher-end Chevies that offer in-dash navigation. General Motors says GoGo Link could migrate upwards, since navigation on other Chevrolets is at least $795.
GoGo Link can also be had on the tiny Chevrolet Spark but most testers have found the Spark one of the least capable cars sold today. On the Spark, the one-trick pony comes up up lame.
- Key technology: Automaker lets you replicate on a car’s LCD display what’s on your smartphone (some automakers do that) including navigation (Chevy does that.)
- Pros: Affordable, reasonable subcompact car. Bluetooth standard all trim lines. Navigation costs just $50 via GoGo Link.
- Cons: Most subcompacts are better. GoGo Link requires you use Chevy’s choice of navigation software. Only for two of four Sonic trim lines.

I AM REMINDED . . . Of a patchwork quilt each time I open the adorable and attractive teenager's complete leather case when I study that sumptuous dress she wore while posing for her intriguing resealed sixth plate. The daguerreian wasn't at all concerned that his white reflector would be seen on the left side. It was there to balance the illumination that entered the space from above his subject on the opposite side. Why did the man place the girl directly in front of the camera and ask her to cross her arms over her waist? I KNOW the answer to my question! He didn't have any sense of design or how to pose a young woman who was so exquisitely fresh and lovely. Did she overwhelm his thought process, sitting there so serenely looking directly into the lens? Swirling mists of time (actually a slight fault in the original process) surrounded the bride, whose rings were painted gold along with her earrings and other jewelry. That was an interesting ribbon/collar arrangement worn around her neck and across both shoulders. Only at the best angle of appreciation is the tinting on the lass acceptable. After she is revealed inside a complete leather case, be patient until that sweet spot is found and you will be wonderfully rewarded not only by the subject but great depth and clarity. A few mold spiders and specks are scattered to and fro.

Lillie hummed gently as she strapped her weapon to her side, as featherstroke had a third mode, which allowed it to split in half an collapse so she could carry it better.
She couldn’t wait for her first class.
Maron was hanging from her top bunk, skirt falling down over her self.
“ I’m very excited for class!” She said brightly. “ I hope I get to fight some other students today, oohhhh I’m so excited!”
Olivia had relaxed, after being assured that her help was appreciated as the smaller Faunus didn’t actually know how to tie her own tie.
Olivia smiles brightly, as she left her dorm room...running smack into Rachel who had been coming out of her own dorm.
Olivia was sent sprawling, knocking down a distracted Lillie, while Rachel stumbled a little and knocked into Tara.
Rachel had been in a fairly good mood, despite the odd choice in leader, her teammates were looking to be good candidates for friends...and then she saw Olivia.
The minute Tibbles saw Rachel, she knew she was going to say something. And Tibbles did not like that. "Before you speak, Rachel, I suggest you think."
Peyton overheard the chatter. "Before YOU speak, Tibbles, I suggest YOU think." Peyton said mockingly. Peyton gave the girls a death glare. "If you will excuse us, we have to go. We're not going to be late because of some idiots."
Lillie blinked in surprise. She helped Olivia up very quickly, before turning to talk to the other team.
“ hey! Come on guys, this isn’t the place to bring up past problems” she said cheerfully hands on her hips.
Inside the dorm room, Maron fell from the top bunk, hearing he familiar voice,
Paige tried to get out of the situation as fast as she can. She remember Ozpin saying that Tara was on this team, and she didn't want Tara to ruin her reputation at Beacon. She especially didn't want her to bring up her father in front of Tibbles and Olivia.
"Maron? Are you alright?" Tara asked. "We better get a move on, we might be late." Tara did not want to be late for her first class, as that would be a bad first impression for her teachers.
Maron was fuming as they walked.
“ we need to show them that we’re the best!” She said as they headed into prof.Ports class.
Impressing a prof. meant they would choose your team to take under their wing. Port was very rarely ever impressed...so to impress him would be big.
Lillie was too busy ignoring Maron to notice one of the steps, and she went flying, tumbling down the stairs. | <urn:uuid:e9463210-a348-4194-b437-76ff02d74184> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.gotoquiz.com/forum/role-playing/274920-you-will-be-team-s-p-o/8/thread.html | 2019-07-18T22:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525829.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718211312-20190718233312-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.987062 | 613 |
How many times a day do you see things like “good vibes only” or “always look on the bright side of life?” I know I’m not the only one who said at least 5 times. Being positive is pretty much shoved down our throats and there’s always one inspirational post displayed on social media every day that the whole meaning of being positive is lost. Instead we find ourselves putting on a fake smile and pretending to be positive without actually feeling positive.
I’ve been there done that, and to be honest it was awful. I tried to be such a positive blogger but not being able to connect with my true feelings was self destructive.
This year I made it my goal to be a lot more open with my emotions and not to be that person who pretends everything is rainbows and unicorns. So here are my top tips on how to be positive without being fake!
Hoodie: DaTuRa / Jeans: Quiz / Bag: Dorothy Perkins
Be more open with your negative feelings
I know it might sound a bit contradicting but in order to feel more naturally positive, you have to accept your negative emotions. You have them for a reason and it’s not good to lock it away and pretend everything is okay.
Find a solution to your problem
Once you accept your negativity you then need to find your solution – why am I feeling down, and how can I make myself feel better? Ranting on Twitter always helps me to blow off steam and I feel so much better for it afterwards.
Fully embrace the things you love
There’s nothing quite like seeing someone talking passionately about something they love. It’s like they’re experiencing a certain giddiness and the way their eyes light up is inspiring. Be that kind of person. Find something you love doing and embrace it with every fibre of your being and really throw yourself into it. Don’t let that spark go!
Let go of toxic friends
This is a really hard one for me but is one of the best solutions; letting go of shitty people. They’re not good for you, and you deserve better friends who actually care about you. Toxic friends are the reason why you pretend you’re okay but you’re not accepting that things aren’t and you’re putting on a fake positive front. It’s tiring!
Yep, I had to throw a bit of Lion King in there but Hakuna your Matata (“no worries”). I have a panic moment every time something goes wrong but you can’t change things that have happened, only the way you feel about them and trust me, it works. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There’s no good in dwelling on the past. That doesn’t mean to say that panicking about your problems is a huge mistake – it really isn’t. Have your panic moment, then throw it in the past and learn from it. This kind of ties in with my previous points on being more open to your negative feelings and finding the solution to your problem.
Accept everything about yourself e.g. that you might have a resting bitch face
Like I do because I look miserable as f*ck in these photos but I swear I am being positive.
And those are my top tips for you!

After your overnight flight, arrive in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital city.

Learn about the Viking settlers, intrepid fishermen, and expressive poets of Icelandic history. Set out on your own to see the towering spire of Hallgrímskirkja, the largest church in Iceland, or wander the scenic waterfront. Gather for dinner at a stylish restaurant in downtown Reykjavík.

While Geysir erupts infrequently, the neighboring Strokkur geyser sends spray high into the air several times per hour. Continue to the spectacular tiered cascade of Gullfoss Waterfall. After lunch, explore Thingvellir National Park, where a deep fissure in the earth marks the split between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. This stark landscape was also the first gathering place of Iceland’s Althing—the oldest democratic parliament still in existence today, having been founded by Norse settlers in the 10th century.

Only two years ago, when I was finishing my memoir of gardening obsession, “Rhapsody in Green,” I claimed that I had no time for houseplants. Prickly, diminutive, macramé-reliant: I’d rarely been less tempted by anything. Or so I believed. Dimly, I noticed that the press and social media were filling with accounts of mustachioed creative types with nine hundred ferns; that every coffee shop and office lobby had ditched the cool neutrals and installed, among the neon and crates, psychotic-looking Sansevieria cylindrica, a row of tragic houseleeks, a couple of tall dusty ficuses like the ghosts of happy trees.
But I am a late adopter, so uncool I’m cool. Fashion? I scoff at it. So, even when I was seized by a strange, Zeitgeist-y compulsion to buy, experimentally, a string of hearts, or Ceropegia woodii, I knew I’d never love it. It was dryish, grayish, inedible: What was the point? Like an innocent born to a house of hard drinkers, given her first taste of the booze she was doomed to adore, I thought I was safe. I fashioned a little hook for the plant in my study, right next to my desk, and vowed to ignore it, which I did: several times a day.
Have you ever watched a toddler try a lemon? I recommend it; she’ll have a suck, scrumple up her face like a banshee, then try another taste. To distract myself from strawberries at a local plant sale, I bought, as aversion therapy, a grotty aloe vera. “Good for burns,” everyone says, as if there is any domestic wound between Ignore and Emergency. The butcher was selling home-reared Chinese jade plants, horrible rubbery things, for charity. I’m not a monster; I bought two. Then I spotted a reddish sedum dangling unloved from a crack in the railway bridge. My godmother’s stephanotis needed foster care. A glossy, deep-purple Aeonium arboreum Zwartkop came home with me because . . . well, by this stage, I’d run out of becauses.
Call this slope slippery? Watch me polish it to a sheen. This year, despite the mild London winter, I decided that my scented pelargonium “attar of roses” was too delicate to sit outside. I’d always meant to try sprouting an avocado; suddenly, I have three. Might the cat prefer homegrown cat grass? I was sprinkling oat and wheat groats on organic compost in rather a nice old terra-cotta pot within an hour of having the thought. Now I sadly scan the shelves in charity shops, longing to retrieve the ceramic pot holders that, when my grandmother died, I recklessly surrendered. The park near my home is scattered with shiny and pickupable conkers, as rich and russet as a healthy pony flank; yesterday, I found myself standing, like an absent-minded flamingo, transfixed by the sight of a pink shoot emerging from a broken shell. It would either be trodden on or uprooted. I remembered seeing, and sneering at, on Instagram, a hipster’s windowsill on which baby horse-chestnut trees sprouted in jars of water. I’d thought it cruel to the poor plants, but, wait: Could it actually be a kindness?
And, with the clarity of love, I can’t stop thinking about the Swiss-cheese plant that, in my secular Jewish childhood, we draped with tinsel every Christmas. Recently, on the way to write in the British Library, I accidentally entered a small and dismal florist. They had one for sale; this seemed significant, even if the British Library guards were curiously immune to its charms. Now it lives by the sofa: dark, glossy, splendid. “Have you seen its holes?” I croon to startled visitors, polishing a leaf with my sleeve.
Actually, I’m getting worried; I’ve started fantasizing about a trip to IKEA’s extensive houseplant section. It seems that rock bottom might soon be reached. And, yes, I know there’s always hope, if the addict wants to change; I almost do. I’m nearly there. I honestly think that with just one burro’s tail, and maybe a Calathea, I’ll be ready. | <urn:uuid:6657324c-e02e-41eb-bdaa-3c3239ed2471> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.newyorker.com/culture/onward-and-upward-in-the-garden/confessions-of-a-houseplant-addict | 2019-07-18T21:56:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525829.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718211312-20190718233312-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.953719 | 986 |
Ridgewood resident makes veggies kid-friendly
#GiveHealthy lets you donate fresh, healthy food that would normally go in a landfill to food pantries like the Community Food Bank of New Jersey Anne-Marie Caruso, NorthJersey
It started as a marketing gig.
Ridgewood's Lisa Suriano began working for her dad Joseph Civita's food service company, JC Food, which provides private and public schools with healthy food options for lunch. She met with sales representatives from large corporate companies, such as Kellogg's, Pepsi-Co. and Frito-Lay (to name a few) to promote nutritious eating.
"That was my idea originally, just really to do marketing in a better way to kids with the vegetables we were serving," says Suriano, 35. "There are ways of doing kid friendly food — things that kids are comfortable with and excited about but that can also be modified from the more traditional recipes to be more nutrient-dense."
Soon after, her passion for eating right and making these kid-friendly creative meals grew and her next endeavor began: Veggication. In 2009, Suriano started the program with cooking classes and demonstrations that teach students and adults unique ways to create vegetable dishes. Classes were first taught at schools and youth organizations in the tri-state area, and have since expanded to the rest of the United States, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and beyond.
Suriano has trained more than 1,000 individuals to be "Veggiecators," instructors that specialize in healthy eating. "Education doesn't stop at the cafeteria door," she says. "We should also be teaching students through what we're offering and what we're serving about how to eat properly."
Her first job was at a Chinese restaurant.
When Suriano was 15, she worked as a hostess at Ivangie Tea House on Chestnut Street in Ridgewood. She remembers her mom, Alyce, used to drop her off since she didn't drive yet. Suriano remembers being overwhelmed at the time by the substantial number of customers that sometimes got impatient when they had to wait for their tables. "The place was very popular," she recalls. "The owner used to step in and help me."
Suriano lived in Emerson during part of her childhood, but she's always called Ridgewood home.
She was born in the Forest Hills section of Queens, N.Y. During her first birthday week, which was in March 1984, her family moved to Emerson,. "I've been a Bergen County girl almost all my life," says Suriano. She lived in Emerson until fifth grade, when her family moved to Ridgewood. She graduated from Ridgewood High School in 2001.
EATING HABITS: Making sense of my children's eating habits
Suriano is married to her elementary school sweetheart.
She finished fifth grade at Hawes School in Ridgewood since her parents moved to the municipality from Emerson. She was in one class and Jon was in the other fifth grade class across the hall. One day, Suriano says, Jon saw her with a coloring book in the hallway. She says, "He was struck." The two then became close friends and dated on and off before becoming girlfriend and boyfriend toward the end of high school. "We were like two little magnets that just couldn't be taken apart," she says. They are now married and have a daughter, Cosima, 3 1/2.
Zucchini is her favorite vegetable.
Suriano loves to cook all vegetables, but zucchini is the best one to work with. "Zucchini is my favorite vegetable of all of them because I find it to be really diverse. You can use it in so many different recipes," she says. She always has a bag of it in her house.
Pizza and pasta are her cheat foods.
When she's not savoring a meal filled with vegetables, Suriano will enjoy a dish of pasta or an interesting pizza with her family. "I'm Italian so pizza and pasta are just sort of in my DNA," she says. And her favorite? Pasta with a traditional, home-cooked tomato sauce that her mother-in-law Elissa makes.
She loves to dance.
Growing up, Suriano was a dancer with the Infinite Motion Academy in Ramsey (now located in Mahwah). "I used to drive my mom crazy at the grocery stores," she says, noting that she would tap dance down the aisles. "I was practicing my moves." Suriano will still dance almost anywhere — at weddings to dance classes to at home with her daughter.

Here is my latest post for Simple Programmer…
For success, it isn’t the programming knowledge you or your team members have at present that matters most. Nor is it how many years of experience we have.
It’s how we work together, how we approach problems, and most importantly, how we learn. Michael Gerber said in the most eloquent way I have seen in his book The E-Myth: “Contrary to popular belief, my experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.”
A workplace learning culture is not only for fun (although it can be!); it allows for better business.
A workplace learning culture enables us to be more adaptable. If the market changes, so can our teams and our business. If a new technology launches, we can capitalize on it. By being adaptable, we can keep our companies relevant and delight our customers.
With a workplace learning culture, our company can become what Nassim Taleb would call: Antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.
Many companies make excuses as to why they cannot embed a workplace learning culture. These companies often cite reasons such as: We don’t have the budget or the time to train our employees. This thinking is very much about what we don’t have, rather than what we do have. This thinking pervades because often we haven’t utilized our workforce’s knowledge. We’re all sitting on top of a goldmine.
Mountains of knowledge and energy are trapped in the heads of our colleagues and fellow programmers; all they need is an appropriate forum or framework for sharing their knowledge. They need a workplace learning culture.
In my experience, teams with a learning culture are better prepared, more flexible, and are close-knit. They operate like a well-oiled machine, instead of merely a collective of people that have divided up tasks on the same project.
As programmers and developers in this fast-paced, ever-changing world of technology, we must find ways to build a learning environment within our companies, for the success of our teams and for our own long-term success.
If your company doesn’t have an existing workplace learning culture, it’s up to you to create one. There are a few simple things you can do to bring your coworkers together; all they require is a bit of time, attention, and a leader to step up and get things going.
Ways to Foster a Workplace Learning Culture
To promote a workplace learning culture, we don’t need to wait for the mythical management team to tell us that it’s okay to do so. We can (and should) begin now. Seth Godin said it best in Tribes: “The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.”
All we need is some inspiration and some structure on the how.
The following are different initiatives that you can use to start to build a working learning culture in your own company. Feel free to change, adapt, and update them to suit you.
I present the following ideas in a progressive order. So if you want to try them, I would suggest this order as each idea builds on the last. That said, the only rule is: There are no rules, so get creative!
1) Kata Sessions.
A kata is a series of movements, choreographed and practiced frequently. Used most often in martial arts (think of the forms in karate or judo), you can use kata in the workplace, too.
Katas are a great way to get started on the journey of building a workplace learning culture. A Kata is a very non-intrusive practice, as all it takes is 15 minutes per session. Which makes it quite hard for a company to say no.
Wikipedia has a great way of describing the concept of kata and how it can be used in the workplace: “The goal is to internalize the movements and techniques of a kata so they can be executed and adapted under different circumstances, without thought or hesitation.”
In other words, take a small amount of time daily to practice ideas, so that they become a part of how we work.
To organize a kata, you need to get together a group of your colleagues with similar learning goals. This can be a group of colleagues interested in a certain aspect of programming, or a new framework or app.
I would suggest doing this every day for a week or two, for around 10-15 minutes per day. I’ve found in the past that practicing just before lunch is a good time. Everyone has got through plenty of work already, so there’s no nagging I-should-be-working guilt and usually no meetings.
Instead of being the type of physical motion you learn in martial arts, these type of katas are programming related, such as a code challenge. Or they can be small lightning-type talks / show-and-tell from individual team members. The themes don’t have to always be the same, and they don’t have to run forever.
Katas can be run as a series; you can do this by picking a single topic and approaching it from different angles. For example, use a kata session to go through a piece of code. Discuss each part and the respective pros, cons, alternatives, and motivations for different techniques and styles of code. These types of sessions will usually last longer than the 15 minutes, but you can keep coming back and picking up where you left off last time. This also eases the pressure on those delivering them as they don’t have to create a new topic each day.
Don’t be afraid to invite senior programmers to the sessions. They won’t get bored; in fact, quite the opposite. Often the most knowledgeable team members relish the opportunity to learn more.
The side-effect (and true power) of kata sessions is how they encourage interactions. It creates a sense of cohesion that is then reflected in our everyday work. Practicing kata means that our team will be able to act without hesitation because we have internalized important techniques and thought processes.
2) Lunch & Learns.
One of the great advantages of katas is that they are hard for a company to push back on because they are so short and simple. Lunch and learns leverage this same thinking.
As with Kata’s, a lunch and learn is where individuals get together to discuss an area of shared interest. The difference is, a lunch and learn is more infrequent and is on ad-hoc topics, rather than short, intense practice sessions on the same topic.
If you’ve got enough ideas to share, once a week is usually good. The topic could be a book someone recently read or a new technology they are using. Kick off the lunch and learn by having someone speak for a few minutes on the topic, and then open it up to discussion.
To help establish lunch and learns, you will need a schedule of topics. Pick a day of the week, and then send out a message requesting topic areas. Let people know the list of topics in advance; you could send out a note on a monthly basis with the topics or you could work on a longer lead time if that’s better for your team. When you get into the swing of it, you can ask people what general things they would like to see discussed, then create a more curated list of topics that focuses more on what people want to learn.
The secret to good lunch and learns is keeping up the cadence. The group should never run out of topics to discuss.
If your colleagues feel like they don’t have anything profound to share, either as a topic or within the discussion itself, it helps to remind the group that perfection isn’t the goal of the discussion. As author of Experts Secrets Russell Brunson says, “You don’t have to be the most knowledgeable person in the world, you just have to be one chapter ahead of the people you’re helping.”
Building a workplace learning culture is not about waiting until we know everything. It’s about sharing ideas that excite us or ones we’re curious to discuss.
3) Communities of Practice (CoP).
When running katas or lunch and learn sessions, we may start to witness patterns emerging. Our colleagues have shared interests that they would like to take further. We can add structure to our workplace learning with a community of practice, or CoP for short.
This group is a collective of individuals who are exploring a topic of shared interest.
How a CoP runs is flexible. The way we run CoPs at AND Digital is that we meet every few weeks for usually an hour. This hour is often dedicated to a presentation and followed with discussion. To support the discussion, we have dedicated channels on Slack, open to the entire company.
If you’re wondering which disciplines work for CoP’s, the answer is: all of them. At AND Digital, we have (amongst others) CoPs for: analysis, front-end development, and coaching and mentoring.
Other companies use different names for the idea of a CoP. Spotify calls them guilds/chapters, and they use it as a way to share knowledge between areas of expertise that don’t usually have the chance to talk in depth, such as quality assurance engineers, who are often distributed with one member in each team.
4) Actively Promote “Mastery”
Mastery is a long-standing commitment from an individual to go deep on a single topic area. We want to encourage Mastery within our organizations as this allows for the deep knowledge to be shared. Some good examples are Martin Fowler for general programming or Troy Hunt for security.
But companies are still slow to officially capitalize on this trend. They don’t often have official support systems for employees who are interested in speaking, blogging, or building a mastery.
Paul Irish is a great example of how Google is helping an individual advocate and share their Mastery. Irish has become the poster-boy for this movement because the company has directly supported his growth as a master in the field. His talks have hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, and he is the go-to guru of browser tooling. Irish is responsible for a large amount of the buzz around Google, which has, in turn, led to Google’s reputation (for many) as the peak example of a software developer’s employed career.
Fostering Mastery can be hard without the right environment and support. Most companies have a promotional scheme of some kind, so I would suggest speaking to your company about adding Mastery as part of this and getting the topic out in the open. Once the conversation about it has begun, you can continue to support the idea by creating communities of practice for those wanting to better their public speaking or writing skills. You could also speak to your company about running a blog series about your Mastery.
These four ways (katas, lunch and learns, communities of practice, and actively promoting mastery) are only a few of the ways that we can begin implementing a learning culture.
The real secret to success in implementing a workplace culture of learning is by promoting values such as inquisition, transparency, and sharing. To embed these values, we need to put the wheels in motion.
As programmers and developers, we need to find ways to take action for the success of our teams and to build our own successful careers.
We don’t need permission because sharing our knowledge should be a part of what we do, naturally. What we really need, for a better culture for all, is a little courage and action. | <urn:uuid:32a6b16e-5094-4a01-819e-110ad2131f65> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thedevcoach.co.uk/building-workplace-learning-culture/ | 2019-07-18T22:54:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525829.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718211312-20190718233312-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.954128 | 2,516 |

Responsibility is such a small word in speaking, but carries too much burden within itself. Often people run away from it. That’s the reason why some people age, but doesn’t become mature. One would call them old people, but don’t associate the title of being responsible because they are not. The biggest example of this exists in our society in the form of unmarried people. Why aren’t they married? This is only because they are afraid of the responsibilities of a life partner, children, their schooling, Etc. This makes them too depressed that the only path they find is to remain bachelors for the whole life. This is an overview of responsibility in our society. People don’t even take responsibility for their own actions these days. What if, I tell you there is someone who could take responsibility for your actions? You would probably think I am mad.
There are many insurance companies that offer to help ease your financial worries a little bit. If you search for insurance companies you will find many options available. So much, that it will become hard for you to decide which insurance company to decide on. Let us say that you are in need of buying a car insurance. The prudential guarantee car insurance is one of the insurance companies that understands the importance of the family. It is the reason of this understanding that they have designed their personal accident programs to protect their clients with the same care and importance one gives to their family. Personal Accident Insurance gives financial compensation for the death, disablement as well as loss of income of the insured person due to an accident. This is a type of protection plan for the client as well as for the client’s family. It is available for the case that something unexpected happens. Any individual between the ages of 18 to 65 years old is eligible to register under this insurance program.
While buying a car insurance one has to be very conscious and careful about the different services that are offered in that particular car insurance package. There is a huge difference between what a comprehensive car insurance covers and does not cover. If we compare car comprehensive insurance to other coverage services, we will see that it does provide extremely valuable protection. The difference is that it does not cover towing, rental and personal property coverage. The comprehensive car insurance protects your car against all the damage and harm that has not resulted from a collision. It also offers you compensation in case of theft. However, this does not make it any more less valuable. It offers you protection in a wide range of different events. These events, which are responsible for the damage of your car may include vandalism, fire Etc. The comprehensive car insurance helps you pay for your car repair and patch up. It even helps you to exchange your damaged car entirely in the case of a total loss, due to some reason. Some of these reasons include the damage to your car resulting from a falling object, from hitting an animal, fire, glass damage Etc. | <urn:uuid:1cb6df98-9bd7-4dfe-8873-e807ba67a291> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.worldcarchat.com/how-car-insurance-policies-help-you-with-your-responsibilities-responsibilities/ | 2019-07-18T21:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525829.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718211312-20190718233312-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980242 | 607 |
Transfer pricing has become one of the most important and sometimes most controversial elements in performance measurement. The internal transfer of goods or services can impact positively or negatively on the performance measures used for responsibility centers just the same as the external transfer of goods and services. It should be obvious that a conflict is likely to arise in an organization between responsibility center managers because the “buyer” wants the transfer price to be as low as possible while the “seller” wants the transfer price to be as high as possible. When an exchange of goods or services takes place between a responsibility center and an external party, the forces of demand and supply according to the microeconomic rules of the marketplace determine the price that the buyer is to pay and the seller is to receive if the transaction is to be consummated.
An exchange of goods or services between a responsibility center and an internal party, however, poses another potentially more serious problem than performance evaluation:
What transfer price should be set so that buying and selling responsibility centers, acting in their own best interests, will at the same time act in the best interests of the company as a whole?
This is a serious question because suboptimal decision making will result if either (1) the buying responsibility center manager goes to an outside supplier to satisfy his needs when he should have gone to the selling responsibility center manager or (2) the buying responsibility center manager goes to the selling responsibility center manager to satisfy his needs when he should have gone to an outside supplier. Upper-level management may insist that the buying and selling responsibility centers, although they are theoretically autonomous units, always take only those actions that are in the best interests of the company as a whole; undesirable behavioral consequences are likely to result from pseudo-decentralization.
How Important Is The Transfer Pricing Issue?
A 2005 survey by the accounting firm Ernst & Young involving 108 financial institutions from Australia, Canada, Continental Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, United kingdom, and the United States concluded that “transfer pricing is rated the most important international tax issue facing multinationals” [“transfer Pricing organizations, audits and Priorities in the Financial services industry” [Source]. More than half of the participants in the survey indicated that they now set aside a provision for transfer pricing risk in their financial statements.
The choice of a transfer pricing method for cost centers is limited, of necessity, to cost. However, if the actual costs of production departments or service departments are used, their managers will have little if any incentive to control costs. as a consequence, any inefficiencies of the selling cost center are passed along to the buying cost center.
A simple solution calls for the use of standard costs in place of actual costs for production departments and service departments. It is the ideal transfer price for cost center exchanges of goods or services. By leaving favorable or unfavorable variances in the selling cost center, the buying cost center will be charged a “fair” transfer price equal to the cost of the goods or services that should have been incurred by the selling cost center.
The company as a whole will benefit from the use of standard costs because its selling cost centers will have maximum incentive to control their costs and its buying cost centers will no longer be unfairly penalized by having to pay for the inefficiencies of the selling cost centers.
In this post we discuss transfer pricing for profit and investment centers. In accounting for their intra-company transactions, a number of cost-based transfer pricing methods will be examined. Because of the overwhelming advantage of standard costs over actual costs just observed in relation to cost centers, any reference to cost (whether it be variable cost, full cost, or some other cost-based transfer pricing method) will be understood to be standard cost and not actual cost. On my next post, we will look at the issues associated with transfer pricing by multinational corporations. The focus here shifts from performance measurement and evaluation to tax issues. Enjoy!
What is Transfer Pricing?
A transfer price is the dollar basis used to quantify the transfer of goods or services from one responsibility center to another. Transfer pricing is an important topic. The explosive growth in most companies as a result of either internal expansion or external mergers has accelerated the trend toward decentralization and intra-company transactions.
A transfer price should be thought of as a signal sent to the buying responsibility center to take a predetermined course of action. On the one hand, if the transfer price charged by the selling responsibility center is greater than the outside market price, the transfer price is a signal to the buying responsibility center to buy from an outside supplier. On the other hand, if the transfer price charged by the selling responsibility center is less than or equal to the outside market price, the transfer price is a signal to the buying responsibility center to buy from the selling responsibility center.
Many companies today are structured on some variation of vertical integration in which the finished product of one responsibility center becomes the raw material of another responsibility center. For example, in a paper manufacturing company the output of the paper division may be sold to outside customers or may be transferred to other company plants that manufacture paper bags or corrugated boxes. Here the problem of intra-company transfer pricing arises. Several different transfer pricing methods are in use, each with its own advantages and disadvantages which we will discuss on the next section.
Transfer Pricing Methods
The transfer pricing method used must be the one most beneficial to the company. Much has been written in the management accounting literature concerning the motivation and the autonomy of profit or investment center managers. Most companies today give careful consideration to these behaviorally oriented factors in establishing responsibility centers and in selecting managers for them. There is a possibility that at times the interests of the responsibility center manager may conflict with the interests of the company as a whole. In such cases upper-level management may act to ensure that the profit or investment center’s interests are made congruent or brought into line with total company interests.
The following four interrelated criteria should be used to evaluate the transfer pricing methods that are currently being used by profit or investment centers:
- Goal congruence. The transfer price that is set should send a signal to both the buying and selling responsibility centers to take whatever action is in their own best interests and, at the same time, is in the best interests of the company as a whole.
- Motivation. Because motivation is a difficult-to-define phenomenon that drives individuals to accomplish goals, the transfer price should not interfere with the process wherein the buying responsibility center manager rationally strives to minimize his costs and the selling responsibility center manager rationally strives to maximize his revenues.
- Autonomy. In a decentralized company, the managers of the buying and selling responsibility centers should not be coerced by upper-level management into making an internal transfer. Instead, each responsibility center manager should be free to satisfy his own needs either internally or externally at the best possible price.
- Performance evaluation. Regardless of whether the buying and selling responsibility centers are cost, profit, or investment centers, the transfer price should not adversely affect the fairness of the performance evaluation process and the incentive plans that are based thereon.
Each of the various transfer pricing methods currently in use will be discussed only in relation to profit centers for two reasons: Ffirst, transfer prices impact on profit and investment centers in an identical manner; and second, the discussion will be greatly facilitated by being restricted to a single type of responsibility center, which is based on the following comprehensive illustration.
Transfer Pricing Case Example [A Comprehensive Illustrations]
The Lie Dharma Putra Inc has a large number of profit centers, including b (representing the buying profit center) and s (representing the selling profit center). Profit center b needs 20,000 units of component 12. Component 12 is an integral part of product z, which is manufactured in profit center b and sold for $24. Component 12 can be purchased by profit center b either externally at $19 per unit from the Thompson Company or internally from profit center s. in addition to component 12, profit center s regularly manufactures between 80,000 and 100,000 units of component 13, which is sold at a 60% markup on full cost ($21.60 = 160% × $13.50). Component 13 is slightly different from component 12 because of the use of more costly direct materials; so it cannot be substituted for component 12 in the manufacture of product Z.
The standard and actual controllable costs of profit centers S and B for production and sale of components 12 and 13 and product z are shown on below table:
Each of the transfer pricing methods in current use will be discussed from the perspective of the buying profit center, the selling profit center, the company as a whole, and the four interrelated criteria listed above.
Below figure presents a pictorial representation of the transfer pricing situation that confronts the Lie Dharma Putra Inc; it will enhance the examination of each of the various transfer pricing methods.

A transfer price for component 2 on the basis of cost could be any one of the following per-unit amounts:
As already stated with respect to cost centers, where actual variable cost or actual full cost is used, there may not be adequate incentive for the selling profit center to reduce production and/or selling inefficiencies since they can be passed along to the buying profit center. The use of standard costs should help to lessen if not eliminate the problem of transferring variances so that all the examples that follow will be restricted to standard costs.
In the first illustration, the transfer price will be set equal to variable cost ($10.70). The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
A transfer price set equal to variable cost will lead to goal congruence. That is, the $10.70 per unit transfer price sends a signal to profit center b to buy 20,000 units of component 12 from profit center s instead of from the Thompson Company at $19 per unit. Both profit center B and the company as a whole will have relevant income of $10.00 per unit if the internal transfer takes place. Unfortunately, the motivation and performance evaluation criteria are violated from the viewpoint of profit center S, which realizes no profit at a transfer price of $10.70 per unit. Although no loss would be charged against profit center s in the short run, a failure to cover at least the full costs of $12.70 per unit would result in a long-run loss. if profit center s objects to making the transfer but is forced to do so by upper-level management, then the autonomy criterion would not be satisfied.
The transfer price will be set equal to full cost ($12.70). The relevant incomes for profit center B and the company are:
A transfer price set equal to full costs will still lead to goal congruence. Profit center b will be sent a signal to buy 20,000 units of component 12 from profit center s at $12.70 per unit instead of from the Thompson Company at $19 per unit. With per-unit relevant incomes of $8 and $10, respectively, profit center b and the company as a whole will benefit from the internal transfer. Once again, profit center s does not realize a profit at a transfer price of $12.70 per unit. As a consequence, the criteria of motivation and performance evaluation are still not satisfied. The autonomy criterion would also pose a problem if upper-level management enforced a transfer, assuming profit center s was unwilling to do so.
While it might appear at first glance that a full-cost transfer price sends the correct signal to the buying profit center to take an action in its best interests as well as in the best interests of the company as a whole that is certainly not always the case. In this comprehensive illustration, an outside purchase price of $19 per unit was assumed.
Suppose the Thompson Company temporarily lowers its price (just for this illustration) to $11.50 per unit. There is no longer a transfer price set equal to full cost that leads to goal congruence. Now the manager of profit center b will be sent an incorrect signal to buy 20,000 units of component 12 from the Thompson Company at $11.50 per unit instead of from profit center s at a full-cost transfer price of $12.70 per unit.
As far as profit center B is concerned, there is a $1.25 per unit advantage to buying from the Thompson Company ($12.70 – $11.50). Unfortunately, the company as a whole is penalized $0.80 per unit, the difference between Thompson Company’s outside purchase price of $11.50 per unit and the relevant variable costs of $10.70 per unit to make and sell component 12 in profit center s.
Cost Plus Transfer Pricing Method
A cost-plus transfer price is used fairly often to overcome the motivation and performance evaluation problems associated with transfer prices set equal to either variable cost or full cost. The cost-plus method is used as an approximation of market price, which was the most popular transfer price reported in surveys of managerial accountants in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Often this is considered a practical approach to the problem of divergent profit center and corporate interests. The base cost used in determining the transfer price varies with different companies. In some cases the profit center manager may want to base transfer prices on variable costs plus profit whereas in other cases that manager may want fixed costs also to be included. Even though the transfer price will be higher than full cost, it may still be in the best interests of the buying responsibility center and the company as a whole to transfer the product within the company.
For this to be true in this comprehensive illustration, the cost-plus transfer price would have to be less than the $19 per unit outside purchase price. The buying responsibility center would be sent the signal that would be in the best interests of the company as a whole. That is, profit center b should buy 20,000 units of component 12 from profit center s. the company as a whole would enjoy an advantage of $8.30 per unit, the difference between the relevant variable costs of $10.70 per unit to make and sell component 12 in profit center s and the outside purchase price of $19 per unit. For illustrative purposes, the cost-plus transfer price will now be set equal to an amount greater than the $19 per unit outside purchase price to demonstrate goal incongruence.
The transfer price will be set equal to full cost plus normal markup. Full cost for profit center s is $12.70 per unit and the normal markup is 60% so that the transfer price equals $20.32 per unit ($12.70 × 160%). The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
A transfer price set equal to full cost plus markup will not lead to goal congruence, at least in the context of this illustration. With an outside price of $ 9 per unit, which is less than the transfer price of $20.32 per unit, the manager of profit center b will be sent an erroneous signal to buy 20,000 units of component 12 from the Thompson Company instead of from profit center s. As a result, the company as a whole is penalized $8.30 per unit, the difference between Thompson Company’s purchase price of $19 per unit and the relevant variable costs of $10.70 per unit to make and sell component 12 in profit center s. With respect to the three remaining criteria—motivation, autonomy, and performance evaluation—a cost-plus transfer price leads to their satisfaction from the perspective of both the buying and the selling profit centers.
Any intra-company profit would have to be eliminated, of course, when financial statements are prepared whether it was the result of variable cost plus or full cost-plus transfer pricing.
Negotiated Price Method
Generally, a negotiated price arrived at between the buying and selling profit centers gives managers the greatest control over profit. As a result, the performance evaluation criterion is most likely to be satisfied, with the autonomy criterion the most likely to be violated if disputes arise.
Assume the two profit center managers negotiate a transfer price equal to full cost plus half the normal markup. Full cost for profit center s is $12.70 per unit and half the normal markup is 30% so that the transfer price equals $16.51 per unit ($12.70 × 130%). The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
It appears that the negotiated transfer price of $16.51 per unit satisfies all four criteria. However, one of the serious difficulties with this method is that it takes time and a great deal of analysis and data. Also there may be frequent requests for revisions. Possible overemphasis on profit center welfare rather than company welfare may result. Sometimes stalemates may occur and top management has to step in and resolve conflicts. At times ill feeling may develop between managers that more than offsets the benefits gained.
Market Price Method
Where a competitive market price exists for the output of a profit center, such as the price charged to outside customers, the market price is thought to be the best transfer price. In fact most managerial accountants believe that the outside market price is the most objective measure of the economic value of the good or service being transferred.
It is expected, of course, that the market price is one obtained through arm’s-length transactions, on the basis of representative quantities. Generally, internal transfers will be made where the selling profit center’s product is equal to that of outsiders in quality and price. Often a lower price may be justified, since there will be less selling and administrative expenses, larger purchases will be made, and there is virtually a guaranteed market. The buyer also has assurance of continuing good quality and dependable delivery.
Certain factors have to be considered in using the market price. There may be no market price for the exact product, or there may not even be a market for an intermediate product such as component 12 in this example.
A quoted price must be equal in quality, delivery, credit terms, and so on. In some cases prices obtained may not be reliable; they may be distress prices for excess inventory or defective goods. Another point to consider is that an outside bidder who has consistently lost to internal transfers may possibly make an unreliable or deliberately low bid. it is desirable for the buying profit center to maintain contact with more than one supplier so that a reasonable market price can be obtained.
In the fifth illustration, the transfer price will be set equal to the outside market price. The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
The use of the outside market price appears on the surface to be an ideal transfer price in that it leads to goal congruence, motivation, autonomy, and performance evaluation. However, there are situations where this approach will lead to sub-optimization (i.e., it will violate the goal congruence criterion). These situations are illustrated below.
Assume that profit center s does not have any idle capacity to accommodate profit center B’s need for 20,000 units of component 12. The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
The $19 per unit transfer price signals profit center b to buy inside since component 12 cannot be purchased any cheaper from outside companies. This decision will be in the best interests of profit center b, whose income will increase $1.70 per unit, but it will not be in the best interests of the company as a whole. If upper-level management forced an outside purchase (which if it did so would violate the autonomy criterion), the company as a whole would avoid losing $0.10 per unit.
As originally assumed, profit center s has sufficient idle capacity to accommodate the needs of profit center b for 20,000 units of component 12. However, now there is the possibility of a reciprocal trading agreement between the Thompson Company and profit center W of the Lie Dharma Putra Inc wherein the Thompson Company will acquire 20,000 units of subcomponent 121 from profit center W only if profit center b purchases 20,000 units of component 12 from the Thompson Company. Profit center W will be paid $13 per unit and it costs profit center W only $2 per unit of variable costs to produce and sell subcomponent 121. The next diagram the facts in this new situation. The relevant incomes for profit center b and the company are:
Since the outside purchase price is not less than the $19 per unit transfer price, profit center b will buy component 12 from profit center S. This decision benefits profit center b to the extent of $1.70 per unit but is disadvantageous to the company as a whole to the extent of $1 per unit. If upper-level management interferes in order to achieve goal congruence, there will be a violation of the autonomy criterion.
In light of the possible absence of an intermediate market and the failure of the outside market price adequately to cope with situations and 2, a synthetic market price will now be introduced. The synthetic market price will always send the proper signals to the buying profit center regardless of the facts. it is computed as follows:
Synthetic market price = Variable costs of the selling profit center + opportunity cost to the company as a whole
In order to evaluate the synthetic market price against the four criteria, administer the following three tests: in the first test, return to situation 1—profit center s does not have any idle capacity to accommodate profit center b’s need for 20,000 units of component 12—and reset the transfer price equal to the following synthetic market price:
Synthetic market price = $10.70 + $10.10 = $20.80
The $20.80 per unit transfer price signals profit center b to buy the 20,000 units of component 12 from the Thompson Company at $19 per unit. This decision will be in the best interests of (1) profit center b whose income will increase, as it did in the original version of situation 1, by $1.70 per unit and (2) the company as a whole, which will now avoid losing the $0.10 per unit that would have been otherwise lost. All the other three criteria are satisfied as well, especially autonomy, since upper-level management will not have to intercede to avoid the $0.10 per unit disadvantage to the company as a whole.
In the second test, return to situation 2—a reciprocal trading agreement exists between the Thompson Company and profit center W—and reset the transfer price equal to the following synthetic market price:
Synthetic market price = $10.70 + $11.00 = $21.70
The $21.70 per unit transfer price sends a signal to profit center b to buy 20,000 units of component 12 from the Thompson Company at $19 per unit. This decision is beneficial to profit center b, as before, to the extent of $1.70 per unit. However, this time it is also beneficial to the company as a whole, which will not be disadvantaged to the extent of $ per unit. The motivation and performance evaluation criteria are satisfied as well as autonomy since there will be no need for upper-level management to force an internal transfer.
In the third test, return to the ifth illustration—transfer price equal to market price with all four criteria satisfied—and reset the transfer price equal to the following synthetic market price:
Synthetic market price = $10.70 + $0 = $10.70
A transfer price of $10.70 per unit goes all the way back to the very first illustration wherein the transfer price was set equal to variable cost. There the $10.70 per unit transfer price signaled profit center b to buy the 20,000 units of component 12 from profit center s as opposed to the Thompson Company at $19 per unit. Goal congruence results because both profit center b and the company as a whole benefit by $10 per unit if the internal transfer takes place. The synthetic market price, however, fails to satisfy the motivation and performance evaluation criteria for profit center S.
The evaluation of the synthetic market price has now been completed. In conclusion, the synthetic market price will always lead to goal congruence but may lead to motivation and performance evaluation problems for the selling profit center.
The latter problem can be easily remedied through the judicious use of a dual transfer pricing system, described below.
Dual Transfer Pricing System
As has been shown, it is just not possible to have a single transfer price. The buying profit center and the selling profit center have different interests in the transfer price. In one case, the price is used to make a decision to buy and thereby determine the output of the purchasing profit center; and in the other case, the price is an important factor in evaluating the performance of the selling profit center. in a dual-price situation the buying profit center is charged the synthetic market price while the selling profit center is given credit for either standard variable or full cost plus a normal markup. The income for the company as a whole will be less than the total income for the profit centers. In preparing financial statements, intra-company eliminations would have to be made for these differences. Any amount transferred in excess of company costs would have to be eliminated.
This dual transfer pricing system has not been in common use, because there is no single transfer pricing method that is capable of satisfying the four criteria in all situations. Only the dual transfer pricing system is capable of promoting goal congruence, motivation, autonomy, and performance evaluation under all conditions.

This has week has been a rather quiet one. Half of our team members are on a much needed vacation, while the rest have worked on the new update and tracking down some elusive issues. We have just pushed live a small hotfix for PC, to address one of these issues:
29174 - Shelter Hotfix
This is a very small hotfix to address an issue where players would need to use a Jimmy Bar every time they exited their safe house. Using the Jimmy Bar now correctly unlocks the hatch permanently.
Otherwise, we wanted to let you know that the next major update to the game is likely to come in mid September. We wrote a bit about this here, and will likely write a more substantial preview about this in a couple of weeks.
It's been all about the Village this week, including signs, propaganda, and murals! Here's a little guy setting an excellent example for other Wellies.
This week I fixed the following issues:
- Tweaked placement of new props such as sinks, bathtubs and toilets in the village bathrooms
- Tweaked size of various sofas and chairs to help the animators
- Gravestone text changes
Created some new assets:
- Jerky meat
- Grapefruit can
- Shower head
- New plexiglass signs for the village (in progress)
And added new textures:
- Cast bronze texture (ex. for statues)
- Versatile tile texture that allows for color change and even checker patterns with Emmanuel's "Evolving Material (TM)" brand.
- New brick texture for the arches (in progress)
This week I was mostly on vacation but I still manage to start working on the real underground modular set.
This week I kept working on small behavioral animations: beggars in the street actually begging & homeless Wastrels begging on the side of the roads, lost NPCs looking around confused, update for the Wellies getting gifts from the player, Wellies cooking in the kitchen, reading a book on the couch, and I’ve started an animation for workers painting our very own rainbow road.
Apart from that I’ve fixed the animations of NPCs talking when they’re sitting, where they would be floating in front of benches instead of on the bench. I’ve also started posing characters to make new statues in the world to go with the dancing fountain, such as a very proud general standing tall, and a war memorial statue. Those are collaborative pieces, we’ll hold off showing them until they’re completely finished.
It's been a while since I gave an update on my side, I've been mostly working on fixing the hundreds of small issues that needed to be ironed out for the early access release and the ones that emerged from having so many people play the game for the first time.
I also need to constantly add new code features to simplify the work of the level designers and empower them to create more interesting encounters, adjust gameplay elements, tune the AI reactions, fix animation and collision issues, etc.
One interesting change recently focuses around the point of interest system used for the passive behaviours of the AI. You will have noticed they do a lot of random things (when not involved in chasing you obviously...), like sitting on a bench, warming their hands by the fire, opening their fridge, etc. And the system supporting these small behaviours is scalable so we will add quite a few in the future.
One problem we identified was that it is simply too random. It's actually based on something similar to The Sims logic (they have needs and they try to satisfy them), but it just didn't work in the game as it is too unpredictable. So I changed the core logic of how they choose what to do, so it is (loosely) based on a schedule: they will go to the kitchen at meal times, (more reliably) sleep at night, etc. And of course this can be reversed for some characters who live at night or tuned specifically for some custom characters.
As we are experimenting with more stealth gameplay it will allow the player to anticipate their routine more predictably. You will know not to enter through the kitchen at noon… It won’t be perfect as we do not want them to be robots and a bit of surprise is important but it should provide more informed choices, and thus make playing with the AI more interesting.
Thank you for tuning in!

The Environment and Food Ministry is spearheading a Danish delegation to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates this week in a bid to promote sustainable Danish solutions within food production and water tech.
The UAE is among the ten most water-deficient countries in the world, and its demand for food produce is increasing by 12 percent annually. The country has also pledged to invest considerably in technology, waste management and sustainable energy.
“The UAE has a goal to become an example for the world in terms of sustainability and low energy consumption. We can deliver a vast amount of the technology and knowledge they require to improve their water consumption and waste management,” said the environment and food minister, Esben Lunde Larsen.
“Moreover, there is a rising demand to import food products to the growing population, which is another opportunity that Danish companies need to embrace. We can deliver anything: from organic chocolate to large-scale dairy produce.”
Aside from the government, the more than 40 other participants with the Danish delegation include the national confederation for industry, Dansk Industri (DI); the agriculture and food council, Landbrug og Fødevarer; State of Green; and the national organic association, Økologisk Landsforening.
Danish exports to the UAE generated 3.2 billion kroner in 2016, and DI expects that figure to increase by about 3 percent every year over the next five years.
“Many of the companies have already found a solid footing in the UAE. Now we need to consolidate that and get Danish companies to gain a share in the rising demand for environmental technology and food products,” said Larsen.
Maersk back on course in 2017
It is difficult to argue against the contention that 2017 was a dramatic year for Danish shipping giant Maersk. From divesting its oil and gas business and enduring a devastating hacking attack, to acquiring the German shipping company Hamburg-Süd, there was a lot to see to following a disappointing 2016. But Maersk seems to have steadied the ship last year, and last week it revealed a 2017 financial result that included an increase in turnover of 13 percent compared to the previous year. The underlying profit was up to 356 million dollars compared to a loss of nearly 500 million dollars sustained in 2016.
Record years for DSV …
Earlier this month, the Danish transport company DSV unveiled outstanding financial results for 2017 after publishing record figures for turnover and operating profit last year. DSV increased its turnover by 7 billion kroner to 74.9 billion kroner, while its operating profit landed at 4.9 billion kroner. The firm estimates that its operating profit will further increase in 2018 to somewhere between 5.0 and 5.4 billion kroner.
… and Nykredit
Another company that enjoyed record financial results was mortgage company Nykredit, which reaped the benefits of lower costs, fewer impairments and increased income. The result for 2017 landed at 8 billion kroner, an improvement of 51 percent compared to 2016 and its best showing ever. However, Nykredit doesn’t expect to generate the same kind of results this year, with estimates landing somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5 billion kroner.
Danish birch juicers eyeing US market
The Danish company Sealand Natural Resources has gained a solid foothold in South Korea, where its birch juice has been selling like hot cakes. Now, the firm is hoping to translate that into a successful venture in the US and has already secured a three-year-deal with the US supermarket giant Whole Foods Market. Since Sealand Natural Resources started in 2013, turnover has shot up from 1 to 15 million kroner. Some 90 percent of the company’s earnings come from exporting abroad. | <urn:uuid:7840feb1-e1ad-40fe-97f8-b964a8223f4e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://cphpost.dk/news/business/business-news-in-brief-denmark-in-food-incursion-to-the-united-arab-emirates.html | 2019-07-20T03:16:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.953791 | 782 |

He'll seek to remind you of your times you have been alongside one another. And maybe seek to woo you. Enable him do it. Don’t put up your partitions. But don’t get intimate with him Except he commits.
I choose to check with about my five months partnership. I doubt my boyfriend whether he genuinely enjoys me or not. Any time I questioned him a question just to generate every thing’s distinct, in place of answering my question he usually telling me “why? You dont trust me?” i am freaked out by this. We constantly argue and combat constantly for that reason. I just sense like many things he hide from me.
He reported he feels slightly baffled. He want to communicate additional and be content that we the two needed this. In any case, following that textual content he went peaceful and a lot more distant, I asked him if he was fearful to talk to me and he reported a little bit. I requested him why, and he stated he wasn’t confident. Above several days, the discussion was somewhat strained. Then before this 7 days I questioned him if he was cost-free for cellular phone chat and he claimed Sure. So we talked to the cellphone, and after that I questioned him if he needed to go see a demonstrate as I had a spare ticket. He sounded anxious. It felt somewhat awkward! He explained he’ll let me know afterwards within the 7 days. Since that cell phone get in touch with he’s been less chatty on textual content, but he even now replies to me. Kevin, I truly feel like I’ve produced the wrong shift. However, I believe there ought to be a stage where he And that i really should meet up with at some point. I do think intending to a demonstrate will be perfect…however then a friend explained it’s a really like Tale so it would appear like a couple-variety display to check out. I explained I didn’t think of it like that. Need to I have just waited for him to inquire me out when he feels… Read far more »
Afterwards he admitted he experienced come above to experience out no matter whether I wished to reconcile, but I'd appeared so bitter, he assumed it had been unquestionably around concerning us.
Have you ever ever read the stating ” if you like one thing You must let it go”. Effectively, thats just what u have to do. You are gonna have to let her no cost. She is going to take pleasure in it. And it will also show her how caring and selfless you are.
two. You might have concluded NC therefore you are in all probability in a very a lot better spot emotionally and mentally. So, I’ll advocate you act pleasant to him.
I need to question that my bf experienced brokeup with me we wer in a two decades connection. bt he however calls me and text me And that i told him that if its more than then plzz dont be in contact with me …so are you able to tell me that he really need for being along with me… Plzz help me
I acquired depressed myself for a long period i cried each day for months but I used to be still concentrating on my operate, i went into counselling to have assist, i taken care of myself, i spoke to other fellas but regardless of what i nonetheless wished him And that i had kinda moved on but a little something keeps indicating have An additional read more go get him back!! so i messaged him for the reason that I had been only blocked on whatsapp he replied it absolutely was a traditional conversation however he reported he wouldn’t add me on sc cus he thought it was for the most effective and he also stated i want to be on Talking conditions so we’re not averting each other i felt disheartened for the reason that I need a lot more than that but i saved my cool and just improved topics to maintain matters constructive and we joked a little. i’ve been subsequent the bit by bit system and the way to textual content an ex and how frequently. i messaged him yesterday here right after he initiated it had been the second working day and now it’s the third he continue to hasn’t text back. what do i do if my ex doesn’t initiate conversations?
Initially as All people I talked nonsense “I'll do anything for you personally…”, then I sticked to NC rule (following 25 times she texted me to see how I am executing. So it absolutely was a primary hope and believing in NC rule). We fulfilled and did buy groceries (all over again I sticked to The foundations – no talking about interactions, staying amusing etcetera.). Again every little thing appeared to exercise session. Couple of times back she requested me to convey some medicine (which i took when we divided, after eight several years), but it had been just declaring “Any time we meet up with accidentally, bear in mind it’s mine”.
In layman’s phrases, “affirmation bias” signifies that when a person believes a thing to become accurate, they’ll Go searching For additional evidence that confirms their perception.
When he came on the doorway, he appeared stricken. I were fantasizing for months about him bringing bouquets and providing me an enormous speech regarding how he experienced built a massive mistake. I needed him to tell me how he experienced modified, how he was an idiot and that he couldn’t end thinking of me.
Should you actually need for being with him, I suggest taking matters slow and looking at if things Develop up with the friendship you equally share right now, whilst gradually displaying him (via your actions) that you’ve altered so you’re no more the individual you had been while you fellas were with each other.
Don’t Speak to her for a minimum of 2 months. If after that, you still want her, give her a simply call and when she doesn’t reply positively, you should forget about her and move on.
the last time I noticed her was two weeeks back After i arrived unannounced to her flat and she dis not see me While using the identical eyes she accustomed to. She claimed she was feeling agitated and asked me to leave.
Properly, having blocked is never a very good thing but I will tell you that if you obtain blocked from his cellular phone don’t Assume the world is more than. It is definitely the most common form of blocking.
Both of them have been Females. One of them was an ex girlfriend and A different was a pal that experienced a significant crush on me.
Should you be wanting to know about my specific circumstance I wasn’t really officially dating the girl I blocked. In fact, this was yrs back and I was starting to acquire some thoughts for her.

Active Data Guard Licensing
by Jeff Stonacek, Principal Architect
In Oracle Database version 11g, a new feature called Active Data Guard (ADG) was introduced. This feature extends traditional Data Guard by allowing the standby database to continue to apply redo while remaining open for queries. This feature works well for people who want to run near real-time reports from a standby database, offloading this activity from the primary database. Active Data Guard is not free, however. Active Data Guard carries a list price of $11,500 USD, and both the primary and standby databases must be licensed if they reside on different physical servers.
The danger with Active Data Guard is that some of our customers open their standby databases and do not realize that ADG is in use. If a customer opens a standby database incorrectly, ADG can unknowingly be triggered, causing a potential licensing liability.
Standby Database Read Only
Contrary to how some understand the situation, a standby database can be opened in read only mode without the need for Active Data Guard licenses. The steps to do this are as follows. To start, we will assume that the standby database is mounted and in managed recovery mode.
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel; SQL> alter database open read only;
This will open a standby database in read only mode, allowing the users to run queries against the database. This will not trigger Active Data Guard usage in DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS. However, the database will not perform any recovery while in read only mode. The steps to return the standby database to managed recovery mode and roll the database forward are as follows.
SQL> shutdown immediate; SQL> startup mount; SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
Triggering Active Data Guard
The licensing concern lies in the fact that ADG can be triggered without any warning whatsoever. If the standby database is open in read only mode, and then managed recovery is started, ADG is triggered.
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel; SQL> alter database open;
At this point, the standby database is open in read only mode and can be queried. There is no ADG usage as the database is not recovering, however.
If a DBA comes along and notices that the standby database is falling behind, the instinct is to enable managed recovery. If this happens, ADG is triggered and a licensing liability is incurred.
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
The exact same syntax is used to enable managed recovery with the database open in read only mode as with the database open in a mounted state.
To avoid usage of ADG, it is important to query the state of the database prior to starting managed recovery. The expected output is as follows:
SQL> select open_mode from v$database; OPEN_MODE -------------------- MOUNTED
If open_mode shows as read only, then managed recovery cannot be started without triggering ADG usage.
SQL> select open_mode from v$database; OPEN_MODE -------------------- READ ONLY
If managed recovery is started while the database is open as read only, the open_mode changes to the following:
SQL> select open_mode from v$database; OPEN_MODE -------------------- READ ONLY WITH APPLY
In this blog we have explained the difference between Active Data Guard and traditional Data Guard when operating in read only mode. Active Data Guard carries a license liability, whereas traditional Data Guard, even in read only mode, does not. If you want to open your Data Guard database as read only, and do not want to pay for Active Data Guard, then care must be taken when opening the standby database. Be aware that a licensing liability can easily (and unknowingly) be incurred for Active Data Guard.
In part two of this blog, we will explore the use of the underscore parameter (_query_on_physical) to disable ADG. Spoiler alert… Oracle Support does not advise using the parameter without their direction. | <urn:uuid:c0261e55-525c-4156-ac14-9aa0be92ccb6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://houseofbrick.com/active-data-guard-licensing/ | 2019-07-20T03:32:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.898006 | 823 |
The Higher Experience
Tyscot Records / Marquis Boone Enterprises
(release date: April 27, 2018)
By Bob Marovich
Now in its fifth decade, Tyscot Records has been repaving its road to success by introducing young artists and groups that mix praise and rhythm, often in an attempt to replicate the live worship experience on compact disc. Anthony Brown and Group TherAPy, Ruth LaOntra, Casey J, and Bri Babineaux are just a few examples.
The latter two have come to Tyscot through its relationship with starmaker Marquis Boone. Boone, referred to by many as the “Berry Gordy of Gospel,” finds, grooms, and introduces to the gospel music community fresh-faced artists whose m.o. is the smooth-flowing worship music popular in multicultural churches and especially with younger congregants.
Tyscot’s latest release in this mode is The Higher Experience by Kelontae Gavin, another Marquis Boone discovery. It was recorded live in April 2017 at Fresh Start Church in Duluth, Georgia, outside Atlanta.
If you had to guess Gavin’s age by listening to The Higher Experience, you might say 28 or 29 because of his confidence singing and ministering to a live audience. But at the time of the recording, he was only eighteen years old.
Gavin’s journey started at age 14, when he rendered the late Reverend Paul Jones’s conversational ballad “I Won’t Complain” in his school cafeteria. His performance was captured on video by a cafeteria worker and uploaded to YouTube, where it garnered more than one million views. The “cafeteria singer” was invited to reprise his performance on the BET television program Joyful Noise, hosted by Tye Tribbett.
Just as he did for Babineaux, another social media sensation, Boone signed the youngster and, at age eighteen, Gavin recorded The Higher Experience, his first full-length live CD.
While the majority of the project is straight-ahead worship, a string of selections—“It’s Working,” “He Worked It,” and “Praise Break”—is one extended up-tempo workout with a solid backbeat.
“No Ordinary Worship” is no ordinary worship song and is likely to become Gavin’s signature song. The most robust piece on the album, it’s a deep southern soul-style ballad that benefits greatly from impassioned singing, sassy responses from the BGVs, and an over-the-top sax solo. The P&W ballad “There’s No One Like You,” with its sing song refrain and VaShawn Mitchell-like melodic flow, runs a close second.
For those unfamiliar with the work that brought Gavin his initial attention, the album includes a new recording of his single, “Higher,” and a studio version of the YouTube favorite, “I Won’t Complain,” that catapulted the singer to fame.
In sum, Kelontae Gavin’s The Higher Experience is a portable worship service with everything but the sermon, the collection, and the altar call.

UCLA is not exactly a bastion of conservatism, but they found it was real...
I think the New York Times is very left leaning from the stuff I have
read there, but that's just my personal opinion rather than science.
The Washington Times is right leaning, as of course is Fox.
I'm not going to argue this to death, because I know I won't get
anywhere. I am simply stating my own opinion that people who are
journalists naturally have a left leaning view of the world. They vote
Democrat MUCH more than Republican. That's just a simple fact.

the past few days have been so absolutely gorgeous here... it's spring! and fancy that, i have lots of fun spring colors to share today for Knit + Crochet Design Week Day 3!
this is just about the last of my stash of Lion Brand Baby Wool and i thought the colors would be perfect for my little puffy fish. i really like how the Baby Wool worked for my Lulu Monster and i have a feeling i'll be stocking up again the next time i'm at LBYS for some more critters.
the first fish i'm working on is going to be Papaya, with Orchid lips and i think i'm going to use one of the greens or the little bit of Almond i have left for the puffer spikes.
Baby Wool is 100% wool and is listed as a Medium (4) worsted weight yarn. in my opinion it's actually a little thinner/lighter than a true worsted weight and for most of the amigurumi projects i use it for i have to go down a hook size or two to make sure it's a tight stitch that no stuffing can push thorugh. for this project i'm using a F hook. Baby Wool is machine washable too so it's great to use for baby toys that may need a bath once in awhile!
i'm planning on making a second fish this week as well and right now i'm thinking about making him in blue (or green.... or maybe striped!) with big pink lips. we'll see what's left over for the spikes, if #2 is done in stripes the spikes might end up looking too busy. but those decisions are for tomorrow when i've finished up #1.
i can't wait to see all of the beautiful yarns all of the Knit + Crochet Design Week designers are going to be using for their projects this week! be sure to check them out too...
have a great day! happy stitching!
update: i just noticed as i was posting this that all of the Lion Brand Baby Wool is on sale for 30% off on their website... check it out! | <urn:uuid:cca49eb5-1695-4ec4-a4a4-a2de88ab0af1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://meredithannetaylor.blogspot.com/2012/03/knit-crochet-design-week-yarn-selection.html | 2019-07-20T03:18:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.959782 | 433 |
[apostle highlands postcard]
For the Apostle Highlands community, we had three main goals:
- Showcase the clear Lake Superior views.
- Emphasize the adjacent Apostle Highlands golf course.
- Get noticed. In addition to the company’s prospects and clients, the piece was sent to purchased direct mail lists.
I created an oversized postcard (to literally stick out in a stack of mail) with a full-bleed photo featuring golf and Lake Superior during autumn. I selected the images, created the logo for the property, wrote the copy, helped select the parameters for the address list and lobbied for the pun!
[buffalo ridge grand opening trifold]
To market the grand opening of a new Wisconsin Dells property, we sent a trifold postcard using personalized URLs (PURLs) featuring personalized landing pages. I laid out the postcard, created the property logo, selected the images (and took some of the photos) and wrote the copy. | <urn:uuid:f366b7cc-211a-4ff0-aa4e-8792640c6e01> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://seeloriwork.com/design/direct-mail/ | 2019-07-20T03:29:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.927364 | 208 |

The AGI's Programmes all seek to contribute to knowledge creation fundamental to understanding the intersectional politics of gender within African contexts. Each programme is driven through research projects, partnership building and direct engagement with questions of theory and strategy.
Feminist Africa is a continental gender studies journal produced by the community of feminist scholars. It provides a platform for intellectual and activist research, dialogue and strategy. Feminist Africa attends to the complex and diverse dynamics of creativity and resistance that have emerged in postcolonial Africa, and the manner in which these are shaped by the shifting global geopolitical configurations of power.
The Young Women’s Leadership Project on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) is an action research project which works with university women in five different Southern African countries to educate them for improved sexual and reproductive health rights, while building feminist leadership skills in young women. The young women who participate in the project are educated in gender, sexuality studies and SRHR in order to build advocacy skills around gender and SRHR on their respective campuses in and in their countries.

Cloning human organs has been in the news publicly since the year 2000, but the knowledge on how to grow them has been in serious development since the 1960s.
A cursory back track, before cloning organs, surgeons were tinkering with organ transplant using primates in the 1930s. However, in 1837 a corneal allograft transplant was done using a gazelle; and in 1905 the first successful human corneal transplant was done at the Olomouc Eye Clinic by Eduard Zirm in the Czech Republic.
Into the 1970s organ transplant progressed, but the issue was the rejection of the donor organ. Scientists were put to the task of finding a serum to block the donor organ from being rejected in the recipient. One of my sources noted that by 1977 news surfaced that such a serum, an antigen, was produced from special animal substances found in fetus using recombinant DNA technology. The self-building substances of cells in the serum, bonds with the recipient’s body cells so that the donor organ is accepted. Much testing was done secretly and it was now time to put the discovery into public practice, said the source. And terrestrial scientists were encouraged to start implementing the discovery to save lives by an extraterrestrial group that was monitoring the development on the Earth and noted that the time was now mature to bring the technology to the people.
Organ transplant is often rejected by the recipient’s body, for it is unable to integrate the organ’s foreign substances because the recipient’s immune system is in defense mode, and that’s why the self-building substances of cells in the serum are needed for cellular fusion. Also, a donor human organ carries what is called “Fluidal Forces”, also known as “Cellular Memories”, and can be harmful in the long run as it can influence the carrier of the transplant positively or negatively according to the strength of the Fluidal Forces in the organ. This is where the donor organ transfers memories into the recipient’s body.
After human clones were being secretly deployed in the late 1970s, into the 1980s research was well underway to clone human organs. The exploration was to find the biological seed capable of growing organs: Undifferentiated biological cells are called Stem-Cells, and are found in the inner cells of the blastocyst – a 3- to 5-day embryo. The inner cells generate the entire body of the organism, including all of the many specialized cell types and organs – such as the kidney, heart, lungs and other tissues. But also Stem-Cells can be derived from a person’s blood, skin, etc. Once the Stem-Cells are developed into expressing key markers, i.e. early cells that forms the kidney for example, a “seed” is created. That seed is then cultivated further and implanted into an aquatic animal – i.e. stingray and other fish species. The small sea creatures are used to host small cloned organs such as the kidney, heart, finger, hand, ear, etc. While the larger sea creatures are used to host large body parts for example a complete leg, a complete arm, etc. The aquatic animals are used because of the fluid environment they live in to float the body organ appendage around so that it does not distort in shape while growing. (Stem-Cells technology is the future of medicine and many diseases like diabetes, cancer and aging related ailments like arthritis will be cured allowing individuals to live healthily into very old age.
Today, Stem-Cell rejuvenation therapy for the human body is being done at private clinics around the world, but only the hierarchy elites have access to the full-strength of the therapy. For the rejuvenation process, blood is taken from the patient and the Stem-Cells are taken from the separated plasma. The patient’s own Stem-Cells are then supercharged with younger stem-cells and transferred back into their body. A few hours after the procedure, the patient’s body begins to repair itself.)
When a request is given to supply the needed organ, the aquatic animal is seeded to grow the organ, microchipped and put into a tank made from special stainless metal, filled with liquid made from minerals and other nutrients and the liquid is more concentrated than sea water. The seeded aquatic animals swim around the tank with their human body part appendages. At the end of the organ’s gestation period, the aquatic animal is tracked using the implanted microchip and retrieved from the tank. The organ that was seeded is now fully developed and is removed. The animal is not eliminated, but is reseeded again and the process starts all over. The organ removed is transplanted into the recipient and the incision is sealed with a laser-like device that rapidly heals the incision area without scarring. The quickly and newly formed skin is said to be lighter in color, but that the normal skin color returns over time.
Organs cloned are better suited because they are synchronized to assimilate in the recipient’s body and there is no problem of Cellular Memories crossing over.
Despite the experimental progression stories that the news media gives about cloned organ research as being many years away, secretly, this is not the truth, because already human organ farming is being done privately for the hierarchy elites. (And lower ranking subservient elites who do not have access to this technology have people framed in murders where they are killed for their organs. One such case, according to a rumor, was the Craigslist killer Philip Markoff who murdered several females many years ago. He went to prison and eventually committed suicide. And the hierarchy elites who are always reiterating their humility service to humanity, they are all hypocrites and very selfish to the core. Because all the countries where wars rage and countries that are overpopulated, the Western countries are deeply involved in organ trafficking. For example, in Pakistan, Nepal, etc. a percentage of individuals in the population have only one kidney, because the other kidney was sold to clients in the West for money.)
Some cloned organs, the science of growing them, are not yet perfected in terms of durability. The fragile fusion (i.e. seeding and growing) of the process is not yet able to implement correctly the longevity strength on a cellular level in the cloned organ matrix. As a result, for example, a recipient can have a few heart transplants during their normal lifespan. But research continues to try and resolve the longevity mechanism issue. Refer to the science-fiction movie The Island.

Tertiary Education Minister supports student voice
Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce endorsed the importance of an active student voice to institutions in the tertiary education sector when he opened the 2013 Congress of the NZ Union of Students’ Associations (NZUSA) today.
“It is important to have a student voice and for universities to provide for that,” said Steven Joyce.
When presented with the view that many student associations have had their independence reduced or are slowly dying under the new Compulsory Student Services Fee regime, the Minister declared that he was “frankly disappointed” with the lack of transparency in the way that the student services fee was being applied at many institutions.
The Minister said that the application of the Compulsory Student Services Fee should not be about treating students as a “profit centre”.
He singled out Otago Polytechnic as “the best on accountability” and added that the Tertiary Education Commission has taken steps to ensure compliance with his directive on the compulsory fee, with an emphasis on ensuring student representatives be fully consulted about how it is spent.
Allied to concerns about the operation of the compulsory fee regime, the Minister released a set of official briefing notes prepared by the Ministry of Education in July and August of this year.
The Ministry of Education admitted it had insufficient data about the categories of services to base any analysis on. At the same time a strong concern was raised that institution's annual reports were "not following the letter or spirit of ministerial directions on the reporting requirements of CSSF".
The Ministry observed that at best annual reports and administrative data contained "only limited information on the decision-making process and no information on accounting for these fees".
After delivering his speech to the NZUSA Congress the Minister was due to embark on his 11th overseas trip to promote New Zealand export education. It will be the Minister’s fourth trip to China with an international education component, with other travel taking him to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Indonesia, Singapore, USA, Malaysia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and most recently Japan and Korea.
Over the same period (since June 2010) the Minister has spoken at three NZUSA events, and held meetings with student representatives here in New Zealand on six occasions.
This Sunday student association delegates at the NZUSA Congress will be electing a new President of the NZ Union of Students' Associations from three candidates: Dan Haines, Francisco Hernandez and Rory McCourt.
The Congress is being held at Victoria University of Wellington and will also feature a panel of opposition Members of Parliament who will be putting up their policies on tertiary education for debate and discussion.

Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Catherine Afeku says the former UN Secretary-General, will be honoured forever.
Speaking at the forecourt of the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), where the seventh UN Chief has been laid-in-state, Mrs Afeku described him as a “consummate diplomat and an honourable person who will forever remain in history…” Adomonline.com recorded!
Annan she said, was an illustrious son who cared for world peace.
“He was a true African. His behaviour meant he was a consummate diplomat. We have lost an illustrious son. He was an honourable person and it will remain history that we buried an illustrious son on the continent…”
Asked if his demise will cause an effect in the tourism industry, Afeku answered in the affirmative insisting that people will travel from all over the world to see the global icon’s final resting place.
“He has made his name. People will come to Ghana to look at his tomb. These are the things that will enhance and boost the transportation of our export…” she said. | <urn:uuid:c748a8ab-b680-4db6-92cf-1b41ce1785ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.entertainmentgh.com/news/made-his-name-kofi-annans-death-will-boost-ghanas-tourism-catherine-afeku/ | 2019-07-20T03:01:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.967885 | 240 |
Kingston and his big brother York
Playing a bit of catch up here today. Please tell me I'm not the only one who wished there were more hours in the day and that days didn't just fly by!?
I wanted to share the lovely Kingston whose newborn photos I captured back in March. Kingston was born to his lovely mama but also big brother York, who was nearly 6 at the time (and is 6 now - Happy B-day York!). I have to say, while I always feel a connection to mamas of newborns (because I'm taken back to those unforgettable newborn days myself), I feel it even more so when parents have children with a bigger age gap. My kids are just about 5 years apart and I feel like there should be a club. It's a great gap - the older able to understand and help with the littler - never mind that I don't think I personally was designed to parent two toddlers at the same time.

Destiny 2 The Fallen Warmind DLC Leaked – Rumor Report
Earlier today we came across a thread on Resetera that linked to some images of the new Destiny 2 DLC, The Fallen Warmind. We have also heard about some DLC for Destiny 2 earlier in the year called The Gods Of Mars. Are these leaks true? Check out the Rumor Report and find out what we think of the leaks.
Destiny 2 The Fallen Warmind DLC Leaked
Here is the image from Resetera that was taken from Gamestop about the upcoming DLC for Destiny 2.
AS you can see here, the title is The Fallen Warmind and you are headed back to Mars. This DLC is set to bring new areas to explore as well as new competitive and cooperative activities for players to enjoy. This most likely just means a new strike on Mars and a couple of new PVP maps. There is no mention of a new Raid which will be disappointing to long time Destiny 2 players.
So is it real? From our perspective Mars does make sense as DLC. Earlier in the year a leak on the Japanese PSN store stated the DLC would be called the Gods Of Mars. Mars was also in the original Destiny. This just means it would be much easier to craft the DLC because they already have a template from the last game. Bungie will save money and time by going back to Mars as opposed to creating a new planet. From our perspective it will most likely take place on Mars but the name might be different. We also assume it’ll be announced at E3 this year and possibly even release during the event.
So what do you think? Do you think the Destiny 2 DLC will take place on Mars or will it go somewhere else? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think. | <urn:uuid:0353ddd4-bf5a-4eeb-a663-60ec46de75f2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.gamersheroes.com/features/rumor-report/destiny-2-fallen-warmind-dlc-leaked-rumor-report/ | 2019-07-20T04:06:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.962713 | 369 |

BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset
While I’ve long been a cellphone user, I’ve never taken to using a Bluetooth headset. Each time I see a person with one stuck in an ear, my first reaction is that they have some horrible growth on the side of their head, and why don’t they get it surgically removed. However, the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs recently received an evaluation unit of BlueAnt’s V1 Voice Control headset. I swallowed my fashion concerns, and gave the V1 a try during a four-day business trip.
BlueAnt touts the V1 as the world’s first voice controlled Bluetooth headset. While I take any such “world’s first” claims with more than a pinch of salt, BlueAnt has created a fairly good Bluetooth headset.
The V1 is a stylish gadget, with a plastic outer shell that strongly resembles aluminum. At the rear end is a large, easily clickable button that controls the many V1 functions.
“Many functions” may be an understatement. Here’s a partial list of the V1’s features :
Pair Me – Puts your V1 into pairing mode ready to connect with your phone. Follow the Prompts.
Teach Me – This menu helps you to understand and use the V1
Try it Now – Takes you through a program which lets you practice the voice commands.
Speed Dial Set Up – Assistance in how to set up the Speed list in your phone
Tips and Tricks – Some helpful information to get the most out of the kit
What Can I Say? – Gives you a list of all the available commands
Redial – Calls the number you last dialed
Call Back – Calls the last received number
Call Home – Calls your Home
Call GOOG-411 – Connects you to the GOOG-411 service
Answer – Answers an incoming call
Ignore – Terminates and incoming call without answering
For a more complete list, click here.
As with any self-respecting portable gadget, the V1 uses a rechargeable battery. The V1 specification sheet says the V1 provides up to 5 hours talk time, and 200 hours in standby mode. As I use a 3g iPhone, which is not known for having unending battery life, I charged the V1 most nights when I charged the iPhone. I never accumulated 5 hours of talk time between recharges, so I can’t comment on the V1 battery life.
Gadgets need to be plugged in to charge, and the V1 provides enough options so you’ll never be caught with a dead V1. BlueAnt ships the unit with two USB adapters: a wall socket USB adapter to charge from a 120V wall outlet, and a car cigarette lighter USB adapter. Combine this with the included USB cable, and you have three charging options. Kudos to BlueAnt for providing this many options.
Next, you have to get a comfortable fit. Once I conquered my fear of looking like a part-human, part-machine member of the Borg Collective from Start Trek The Next Generation, I experimented with the numerous included ear tips to try to find a good fit. Unfortunately, getting a good fit proved problematic. I quickly found a comfortable ear tip, but I had ongoing difficulty getting the plastic loop that fits around the ear to stay in place. The loop did not conform to the shape of my ear, and it was not bendable. The ear loop slides up and down to provide a vertical adjustment, but that did not help. Even after much fiddling, I never got a totally comfortable fit. Perhaps my ears are not average; you may have better luck getting a good fit.
The V1’s selling point is its voice control. My initial skepticism was proved wrong, when the V1 recognized my voice straight out of the box. No training is needed, and no training feature is included. In noisy environments, I had to speak more loudly, but I was still able to get the V1 to recognize voice commands. Later, I did come across a few minor problems with voice recognition for speed dialing.
Pairing the V1 with my iPhone was absolutely easy. Click the button, say “Pair” and the V1 walks you through the pairing process. The V1 paired with my iPhone in 15 seconds on the first try. It tells you exactly what to do, and when to do it.
Configuring Speed Dial for the iPhone is a bit different. Unlike conventional keyboard-driven cellphones, the iPhone has no way to press and hold a key to activate a particular speed dial number. The BlueAnt V1 will talk with the iPhone Favorites list, but you have to rearrange the order of the favorites. When you click the button, and say “Call Home,” the V1 will dial the second phone Favorite. “Call Voice Mail” dials the first Favorite, regardless of whether the first favorite is Voice Mail. “Call Office” always calls Favorite number three. Given that most iPhone owners use Visual Voicemail, and don’t call their own number to access voicemail, you’ll have to move someone else’s number into the first Favorites position, otherwise it may not be useful. Don’t forget that you can rearrange the order of your phone Favorites by displaying Favorites, clicking Edit, then dragging entries into the desired order, then clicking Done.
I found the voice recognition for the various speed dial numbers to be more finicky than for the other commands. I had to make sure to clearly enunciate the speed dial number itself. Sometimes the wrong speed dial number would be dialed, and I’d have to cancel the call.
Call GOOG-411 is a built-in speed dial feature that’s very useful. Click the headset button, say “Call GOOG-411” or “Call Speed Dial 5” and the Google voice recognition-driven phone directory is called. Once GOOG-411 finds the desired number, and it’s generally quick to do so, it dials the number for you.
Audio quality is excellent for the listener using the V1, but most callers told me that audio quality on their end was loud enough, but slightly tinny and scratchy. The V1 has adjustable noise reduction, but this made little difference, and callers complained of tinny audio even when I was in a quiet location.
The V1 comes with a good manual, even though it’s printed in a tiny format. You’ll want to read it to take advantage of all the V1 features. If you forget the basics, you can click the button and say “Teach Me” or “What Can I Say?”
I attempted to install an update to the V1’s firmware that I found on the BlueAnt website. The updater is Windows-only, so I attempted to do it using Parallels Desktop. The effort was unsuccessful, as I could not get the updater application to find the V1. I suspect this is a Parallels USB problem, and I’m continuing the experiment.
Conclusion. The BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset is a good headset with some issues. It’s loaded with features, and the numerous voice control features work well right out of the box. Users may need to spend some time getting the headset to fit properly, and I never got a perfectly satisfactory fit. Lots of charger cables ships with the V1. Audio quality from the V1 headset is very good, but call recipients complained of tinny sound at their end. Speed Dial voice dialing sometimes dials the wrong number unless you speak very clearly. | <urn:uuid:3b306a04-29e7-40bf-b7e6-1bb70adb95e7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.mymac.com/2008/12/blueant-v1-voice-control-bluetooth-headset-review/ | 2019-07-20T03:30:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.939517 | 1,637 |

I miss holding your hand, Cassandra**, and how your fingernails always dug into my skin. Holding on tight helped you to balance, so I’d leave them there until I had to — ever so gently — pry them away.
We’d re-grip, but a few steps later, your nails would dig in again. I’d sigh, maybe, but mostly I wouldn’t mind the crescent moons left behind. They were imprints of trust.
You’d ask me to take you out … for tea, for sweets, for a break from routine. Because life was too short to be diligent all the time, because teatime is a chance to slow down and enjoy.
I miss pushing you, Pedro, in your wheelchair … which, of course, you’d insist with great volume and intensity that you did not need. To your great dismay, I’d pull the chair along anyway. We’d go less than a hundred yards before you’d turn to me, ready to rest. I’d help you buckle in, and never say I told you so.
Though it could be stressful at times, I love that you always wanted to leave that wheelchair behind. You, with your indomitable spirit, always believed you could walk the whole way … just as I always thought I wouldn’t need to bring an extra layer of clothing when I always, always did.
I miss pushing your wheelchair too, Miguel; I miss hearing the sound of your contented, buzzing purr. I’d see you looking around and beaming peace on everyone. You, who spent so much time indoors, never took the outdoors for granted.
I remember how you’d notice things at the margins, things the rest of us wouldn’t see … the bums sitting on the sidewalk, the brown chickadees fluttering around an abandoned pizza crust.
You’d go to Starbucks every Monday, and fill up the room with your quiet gladness. You’d extend your hand to everyone. One man refused to shake, once, and it was his loss. You drew your hand back, confused, undaunted.
I miss walking down to McDonald’s with you, Leo. Truth be told, I can’t stand McDonald’s, but I have a soft spot for it because of you. You’d make your daily pilgrimage, shuffling slowly. Such a pace meant more time to take notice; you once said you liked the scent of autumn leaves as they fell from the trees.
Whenever I’d see you walking alone, I’d be struck by your vulnerability. You’d go out into a world that doesn’t always understand your speech, your story. Every day, you’d show up for your life. You didn’t let fear hold you back; you’d get up to speak in front of a crowd even though you had terrible stage fright.
I miss walking beside you, Theresa, watching you hunt for pennies. Your patience was marvelous, and never more so than on the day I came to pick you up at the airport.
It was late and we were tired, but you didn’t give me a hard time when I couldn’t remember where I’d parked the car. Instead, you walked with me through the parking decks for what seemed like forever. When we finally came upon the old L’Arche van, we jumped for joy.
On ordinary days, we’d walk along, you talking to yourself aloud, me talking to myself in silence, companionable. We’d hold hands, stopping only for glimmers of gold, pennies on the sidewalk.
I miss being able to walk beside you. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten.
Because of you, I slow down and listen; I write down my parking spots.
I notice the flutter of the chickadees, feasting on crumbs.
I greet strangers, because when I do, I see you in their smiles.
I bring an extra layer, even though I really believe I won’t need it.
I treat myself to a cup of tea in the afternoons.
And most of all, I show up for my life.
We may be separated by distance, but really, that’s about it.
You are with me wherever I go.
Who is with you wherever you go? Join the conversation in the comments!
Fed up with an ‘impossible’ person? Tired of a situation that may never change?

10 balm™soothing cream
Rated 5 out of 5 by lolachica from So soothing for sensitive skin I have struggled with red, bumpy, irritated and super sensitive skin for years, especially on my cheeks. Because of the sensitivity, I'm always veryyy cautious when trying new skin products. I have to say, I am beyond impressed with the Indeed Labs product line, especially 10 Balm. I smooth it onto the most irritated spots on my cheeks and around my nose, and the soothing relief is instant! My redness has been reducing (healing) since I started using it, I've had no breakouts or irritation. I'm actually about to purchase another tube of it and thought I better leave a review. I love this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Catherine G from SO gentle I have always had trouble finding a face lotion that doesn't give my forehead an acne breakout, however this one is gentle enough to hydrate my skin without causing oiliness or breakouts. This lotion is super light and moisturizes my skin perfectly before I apply my makeup. It makes me feel comfortable and not at all greasy on a day to day basis!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yulia1872 from Magic in a tube My skin has decided that it's over winter and has been throwing tantrums for the past month or so - this is the only moisturizer that healed my dry patches after one overnight use. I've also purchased Indeed Labs' Squalane and Q10 booster, but they are not doing nearly as good a job as this little balm. Recommend 100%.

Day 1- Root Chakra
This is a 7 day programme of Kundalini Yoga and healing which works on the Chakras. Each day explores a new chakra to really bring people into alignment with their real true selves. I believe that balancing the chakras is the key to happiness and that’s the basis of all my teaching and healing secrets.
Today was mostly about settling in, buying flowers, building altars, making the rooms gorgeous with more flowers and welcome gifts and creating one of my favourite spaces for teaching kundalini yoga.
Everybody arrived and we began with our first class this evening to focus on the root chakra, to focus on really connecting to the earth. And what a wonderful and truly magical piece of earth it is here in mystical India. The gorgeous class started out in the light and finished by candlelight and was followed by a long and deep gong bath and relaxation.
It’s a gift to be here with our chef, the wonderful Sue, who is a fellow foodie and we are both really interested in working with food as medicine. Each meal is tailored to match the chakra we are working on that day. There is such a lovely light energy at the table and, as always, such a gorgeous group of students.
Everyone is loving Goa and after a beautiful meal and dessert followed with Sue’s warming homemade yogi tea, its time for bed.
Day 2 – 2nd Chakra Day
We have all settled in now and what a beautiful connection between the group.
Today we worked on the second chakra so in the morning class we focused on the kidneys and the release of fear from the kidneys where fear can hide. You can really feel the detox happening – literally.
We followed class with breakfast in the garden. It’s fruits are so so so tasty here!
The morning workshops are always different, depending on the group so after an exploration of the first 2 chakras we were working on we practiced a wonderful 11 minute meditation and floated over to lunch.
Everyone is feeling pretty tired today and this is generally what happens as we do go in quite hard with the classes. So after the gorgeous stuffed aubergines and delicious salad we all reclined at the pool, swam or napped for the afternoon. Our evening session was just divine – so many times I had goosebumps! The sounds of the birds in harmony with the gong and the beautiful soft evening light is just gorgeous.
Dinner was so so fresh and followed by raw carrot cake and I am smiling as I write this tucked up in bed.
Day 3 – Solar Plexus Chakra
I wake up to a symphony of birds here in Goa every morning.
Today was a strong day today working on the solar plexus, working on the release of emotions that are not serving, working on coming back to centre, working on bringing in the peace and the power to the 3rd chakra. Both classes today really opened the navel centre and we practiced the amazing Osho Kundalini Meditation during the workshop. I adore this meditation and the students all had profound experiences. Some tears today as we move through the releases going on. I love to see people getting to the point of the release of tears- it all works!
I am so happy to have the wonderful Annabel James here sharing her powerful breathwork journey therapy and also Chi Nai Tsang. Annabel and I work together in Ibiza and I see such huge shifts happen for people with her sessions. I am also excited to have Olivia Wood here offering her therapeutic massages that guests enjoy during the afternoon.
Dinner was a divine cauliflower dish with courgetti spaghetti and salad. Lunch was also simply divine and we had fresh moringa from the garden with a mango curry.
I shed a little tear while teaching this evenings class because the energy in the room was just so incredibly gorgeous.
Day 4 – Heart Chakra
Ah my favourite! The heart chakra day!
This morning we took our practice over to the pristine sands of Talpona as a surprise for our yogis. It was simply divine to practice the kriya to open the heart centre there on the beach, shaded by the palms, facing out to see with about 30 eagles flying over head. Just Bliss!
We practiced the kriya for self love in the workshop. Self love is the most important love of all.
I had a beautiful massage myself from Olivia this afternoon and again this evenings class left me speechless and covered in goosebumps as we practiced the opportunity and green energy set. Everyone is glowing here now and really feeling EVERYTHING. The vibes are just wonderful at mealtimes and the food continues to delight. The heart chakra day always is a big turning point in the week and as you know, love is always the answer!
Day 5 – Throat Chakra
We started off laughing a lot this morning. It is such a good way to open up the throat chakra and when we do a little laughter yoga we see how infectious it is to laugh. We begin to move the energy up now and with this comes the opening up of the truth, our ‘sat nam’.
This evenings session was just beautiful as we had mantra singing down by the river for the evening practice. This is the best way to open up the energy at the throat, and as we bathed there in the golden light of the sunset we sang our hearts out – literally. This wonderful evening was followed by beautiful dinner and as I write this I feel the mantras vibrating in my whole body. There is nothing more I can ask for in this moment.
Day 6 – Third Eye Chakra
We are all feeling absolutely amazing here in Goa! It was a very deep class this morning, focusing on opening and stimulating the third eye centre. The was an incredibly powerful energy in the room and we are well and truly underway now to starting to vibrate at our highest frequencies. When we are vibrating at this frequency we simply and purely feel it in every cell in the body, and it feels so good!
We had an exceptional afternoon where we sailed down the river and out into the sea then arriving on the beach at Palolem we swapped boats and sailed down another river where we saw huge birds of prey, gorgeous little kingfishers and so many beautiful egrets before sailing back home.
I led this afternoon in total silence and we really tuned into the senses, into the third eye and observed the feelings and the energy and then we came back to a beautiful candle lit class where we completed the day with a divine meditation to see the unseen. We are in a wonderful flow now and everyone is absolutely glowing. It is just such an honour to allow all these blessings to pour down and I am so humbled by what happens in this process each and every time. It is hard to believe tomorrow is the last day.
Day 7 – Crown Chakra
The softness of this opening of the day was beautiful. On this the crown chakra day we go back so deeply into the physical practice in the morning kriya before we open up the 10th gate for the meditation. It is an incredibly strong experience for everyone. I observed so many big changes in all these students, and the general feedback was that they are really feeling their truth and how great that is to feel connected to.
The evening class we had by candlelight and the softness and divinity in the room was truly palpable. What a journey this week is! Tears of joy this evening and just so much gratitude for this incredible practice of kundalini yoga and meditation.
We completed this week with a gorgeous practice down by the river. The light was so golden and the atmosphere was just absolute joy and bliss, which is the true and absolute intention for the week here. Each time I offer this retreat it just gets even better.

March 6th Birthday Horoscope 2019-2020
If Today is Your Birthday: March 6
The Year Ahead
Forecast for March 2019 to March 2020
If You Were Born Today, March 6:
You are an exceptionally hard-working individual who possesses much devotion and dedication to whatever you do. You seek balance, harmony, and beauty in your life; and you work tirelessly to achieve these things. Responsible and concerned, you do what is expected of you and more. You are gifted in the arts, but you never dismiss practical concerns. You can be driven by the fear of lacking, and you never forget your roots. Famous people born today: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Rob Reiner, Shaquille O’Neal, Ed McMahon, Tom Arnold, Connie Britton, Ellen Muth.
Your Birthday Year Forecast:
The New Moon in your Solar Return chart suggests that you will instinctively begin a new phase of your life this year. A decisively new direction has come about in your life. This can be an emotionally stimulating time in which you feel the urge to initiate and project, even if you are not quite clear about what you are projecting. Much of the energy in your life can have a magical quality to it as things are just automatically going in a certain direction. It is important to be intuitive at this time and allow the natural course to show you the way to the next step. Surprises (mostly very pleasant) pepper your year. New beginnings are in order, and you are bound to feel some level of excitement as the year unfolds.
This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.
With transiting Neptune no longer influencing your Sun, you’re likely to feel as if a fog has lifted this year. You are clearer and more decisive. In fact, this can be a year in which you are bolder, more assertive, and energetic in many ways. You are especially interested in setting goals and challenges for yourself at this time, as well as taking the necessary action to meet them. You may meet or interact with others who encourage or inspire you in some way to have more confidence in yourself. Your energy levels are generally strong this year, and your sense of timing better than usual. Independent work is favored and competitive activities may also thrive this year, although you may need to tone things down at times and learn more patience. Your passions and enthusiasm run high, and the trick is to channel this extra energy constructively.
You also benefit from a supportive transit from Saturn to your Sun, and this can help stabilize key areas of your life. You are practical in your choices (for the most part), keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. You have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side during this period. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off – not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible image, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work.
This is a year in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. Improved concentration, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help you to make steady progress, particularly in your career. Your concern for your future this year is stronger than usual, and you may find that projects you start, or investments you make, this year will benefit you for years to come.
This is an excellent year in which to advance projects revolving around communications – writing, speaking, selling, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well.
You’re likely to feel that your spiritual and material goals harmonize and that circumstances facilitate following through on making your dreams a reality. You enjoy stronger faith and a feeling that your dreams are realizable.
The period ahead is a time for new beginnings. It’s likely to be a rewarding year, especially with studies and friendships. This is a powerful time for connecting with others and sharing common goals and pleasures. Learning and sharing are likely to be more satisfying than usual. You could find that you’re getting your life in order or back on track in significant ways.
2019 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It's likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for "play" time are greater than usual. It's also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice - reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.
2020 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It's "nose to the grindstone" time. It's a time to pay special attention to practical matters, and it's not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are often not formed in a Four personal year. However, it can be a wonderful year for building, development, and laying a solid foundation for future successes. Advice - get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

When we have pets on our carpets and furniture there can be various problems associated with cleaning. The following information will help you understand these problems and also explain the various treatments available.
Our technicians have and use the best chemicals and procedures available to them. In rare cases the problem maybe beyond cleaning and carpets and furniture may need to be replaced.
Please read the various options available below.
Which Method To Choose:
Scenario number 1: You have your carpets and furnishings cleaned and the pet odour becomes more evident after cleaning. This can happen because you were not aware of urine soiled areas . The urine soiled areas are “hidden” or not noticeable in your carpet and cleaning the carpet has activated the urine salt deposits and the odour can be worse than when cleaning commenced. This scenario does not happen all the time but it can occur. It can also occur days after the cleaning has been completed. If odour is present after cleaning this can normally be rectified by applying odorcide to the carpet / furniture as long as the urine deposits are in the carpet fibres and not in the carpet backing / underlay or floorboards. If the deposits are in the carpet backing / underlay or floorboards the carpet will need to be lifted for further treatment.
Scenario number 2: There are no apparent urine stains in your carpet or furniture but stains appear after cleaning has been completed. This happens because the urine deposits are dormant in the carpet backing or underlay and are “drawn” to the surface in the cleaning process. Remember; a carpet cleaner can only clean the carpet fibres not the underlay or floorboards underneath, so when urine deposits are underneath they can “wick” through overnight to the carpet fibres. This problem can normally be fixed by a second visit and applying urine spot treatment chemicals to the affected areas.
Scenario number 3: The carpet is so heavily contaminated that no amount of cleaning, deodorising, stain treatments, odorcide etc. will get rid off the odour or stains. In this case its time for the carpet and underlay to go to the tip. Remember; if you dispose of your carpet and underlay because of severe urine damage make sure you treat the wood or concrete floor before relaying the new carpet and underlay.
Drymaster has 2 methods to treat urine and urine stains on carpets.
Method 1 – Surface treatments or top down treatments of carpet fibres.
This method will be successful if soiling is in carpet fibres only and urine has not penetrated the carpet backing, underlay and floor. This method does not involve lifting of the carpet and is the cheaper option.
If your pet has been soiling the carpet in the same area your underlay and floor may be soiled as per the following photos.
Cleaning your carpet may not be the answer if the carpet backing / underlay and floor are urine affected, you may have to perform the following.
- Drymaster will carefully lift your carpet and inspect to decide if step two is needed, or if a standard steam clean and deodorize is sufficient.
- Remove soiled underlay out of house. Wash and reseal your floorboards or concrete base. Cut and relay new underlay.

Drymaster will not be responsible if the cleaning process “activates” or “upsets” urine deposits that are in the carpet / underlay / floorboards or concrete floor which may cause odour or stain problems. Drymaster will always recommend “steam cleaning” of your carpet / furniture rather than “Dry cleaning” when there are pets on carpets / furnishings. The Dymaster cleaning process includes deodourising and this will normally be sufficient. In some cases we may need to use Odorcide for urine odours. | <urn:uuid:3c43cb6d-0c83-4f04-878c-70ceb0db3e37> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://carpetcleaning.com.au/services/pet-stains/ | 2019-07-20T04:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.9329 | 922 |
Northland analyst Gus Richard wrote that MediaTek might displace Intel for the product at Apple, which he says has been rumored to be working on their own modem. Apple is already planning to phase out Intel chips in Mac computers as soon as 2020, according to previous reports.
The bad news for Intel follow a Goldman Sachs note today detailing its souring outlook on Intel, after analysts met with more than 25 companies in the technology supply chain last week. Despite positive trends, Toshiya Hari and Mark Delaney wrote that Intel could stand to lose market share in the server CPU market, which it currently dominates.
In the past seven days, Intel lost $13 billion in market value, the CEO resigned after a relationship with a staffer and it was downgraded by two analysts.
Intel has lost its silicon production advantage over its competition it had in the past, and plans release the first silicon from its 10nm process technology in 2019. Meanwhile, rival TSMC is already ramping up 7nm chip manufacturing volume.
Besides the slow PC market, Intel has not managed to enter the market of low-power chips for mobile devices, although some analysts remain bullish on the semiconductor giant. | <urn:uuid:07929c2b-dcd7-4787-aa1a-06e80408d54f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://cdrinfo.com/d7/content/intel-may-lose-apple-modem-client-iphones | 2019-07-20T03:08:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.97168 | 242 |
Shut up. Sit down. LIve invisibly. Go out quietly.
I’m working on my third book “Retirement is a Bankrupt Industrial Age Idea” and the research confirms everything I’m seeing in the world around us – the title of my book reflects reality. We’ve got to rethink the whole idea.
The Industrial Age, which is a very short 175 year snapshot of life in the last 10,000 years, left us with a lot of great toys and a luxurious lifestyle, but we’ve paid dearly as a society for it. The whole bankrupt idea of retirement is one of those casualties. You should get a Business Maturity Date instead.
Retirement – The Worst of the Industrial Age
We were sold a bill of goods by Bismarck who thought up the crazy notion of retirement in 1889 (he set it at 70 when the average age at death in Germany was about 49). The entire idea is only 121 years old – for 10,000 years before that we did just fine without it.
It is the icon of the worst of what came out of the Industrial Age – “Shut up, sit down, work hard, live invisibly, don’t talk back, make the company successful, be loyal, and go out without making waves. We’ll take the best 45 hours of your week and the best 45 years of your life, and if you survive all that, we’ll let you do something significant with your life when you’re done.”
The Next Generation Has Already Opted Out
The X,Y and Z generations know this is bankrupt. But they’re still hearing their mothers voice in their ears telling them that the top three priorities in life are safety, security, and stability – all three which are deadening to the idea that anything significant will happen in your life.
Great reward only comes from taking a risk – it doesn’t even have to be a great risk, just take one.
Big Business is Dead, Long Live Small/Local Business
Retirees who bought the lie know by experience it isn’t working. There is a better way. Fortunately the world is actually going back locally.
The era of big business is as dead now as the railroad was in 1903 – neither one of them knew it at the time, but it’s over. Long live the local business owner, which is exactly what they will do – without the bankrupt notion of retirement and all it represents hanging over them.
Read more on what Rieva Lesonsky says about the retirement myth here, then come back and talk with me.
Here’s some ways to solve it, too.
I believe you will enjoy life more, have more fun, relax more, and probably even take more vacations if you never retire. Love to hear if you think I’m nuts. | <urn:uuid:b2858687-670c-4b43-b3ba-bff2a6e2bacd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://chuckblakeman.com/2010/10 | 2019-07-20T03:33:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.962018 | 604 |
I would like to recognize Torey for her extraordinary care. Torey was on duty when my daughter was in St. Joseph Hospital, Lexington for heart problems and chronic, severe pelvic pain. My daughter had called me, very distressed, at the prospect of being discharged, since she had been cleared for her heart problem (stress-induced cardiomyopathy) but was still having severe (8 on a scale of 0-10) pelvic/abdominal pain with no relief and no answers to what was causing it or an outpatient treatment plan. Torey was very responsive to my concern about my daughter, understood the issue quickly that without an answer to her pain condition the heart issue would likely return, and my daughter would be on the same merry-go-round she had been on since a hysterectomy to address the pain a year previously. I believe largely due to Torey’s effort, my daughter was transferred to St. Joseph East where she could have a consult from gynecology to address the pain condition. Torey then had the presence of mind to call me later to let me know further care had been arranged, much to our relief. It was a blessing to deal with a professional who was so quickly responsive to a patient’s medical concerns in a caring manner and effective in her efforts to address the need. Her actions that day, in my opinion, exceeded usual and customary care, reflecting a caring and talented nurse.
Although my daughter’s pain condition is continuing to be followed on an outpatient basis and is not fully resolved, I believe Torey’s efforts were a key factor to getting her connected with a physician who is willing and able to carry out an effective plan of care. I will always be appreciative of her efforts.
I was House Manager on duty this day when Torey called me to assist her in advocating for this patient to get her transferred to SJE under the care of a gynecologist. I can attest to the time and efforts Torey put into both the compassion, empathy and safety of this patient to assure that she was getting the care that she needed for healing and hope, our mission here at Kentucky One. This is not the only time Torey has called me personally to either assist her or to make sure that she was doing everything that she could to provide the best care for her patient. Torey exemplifies our core values of reverence, integrity, compassion, and excellence to the utmost standards. Torey, you truly are an extraordinary nurse!
As a patient, the care I received was above the call of duty. She advocated for me, always adequately went above the level of care I needed. She always made sure I was not in pain and made my experience positive while here. | <urn:uuid:f9e23b95-3042-4dae-844f-f4462d076cbf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://daisyfoundation.org/daisy-award/honorees/torey-benjamin?position=27&list=OXH4f5lkb1FDxZcPAAQ1TOA2koZ5MnF7OllwViFDaro | 2019-07-20T02:55:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.987707 | 573 |
Ray tracing is a rendering technique that can realistically simulate the lighting of a scene and its objects by rendering physically accurate reflections, refractions, shadows, and indirect lighting. Ray tracing generates computer graphics images by tracing the path of light from the view camera (which determines your view into the scene), through the 2D viewing plane (pixel plane), out into the 3D scene, and back to the light sources. As it traverses the scene, the light may reflect from one object to another (causing reflections), be blocked by objects (causing shadows), or pass through transparent or semi-transparent objects (causing refractions). All of these interactions are combined to produce the final color and illumination of a pixel that is then displayed on the screen. This reverse tracing process of eye/camera to light source is chosen because it is far more efficient than tracing all light rays emitted from light sources in multiple directions.
Another way to think of ray tracing is to look around you, right now. The objects you’re seeing are illuminated by beams of light. Now turn that around and follow the path of those beams backwards from your eye to the objects that light interacts with. That’s ray tracing.
The primary application of ray tracing is in computer graphics, both non-real-time (film and television) and real-time (video games). Other applications include those in architecture, engineering, and lighting design.
The following section introduces rendering and ray tracing basics along with commonly used terminology.
Ray Tracing Fundamentals
- Ray casting is the process in a ray tracing algorithm that shoots one or more rays from the camera (eye position) through each pixel in an image plane, and then tests to see if the rays intersect any primitives (triangles) in the scene. If a ray passing through a pixel and out into the 3D scene hits a primitive, then the distance along the ray from the origin (camera or eye point) to the primitive is determined, and the color data from the primitive contributes to the final color of the pixel. The ray may also bounce and hit other objects and pick up color and lighting information from them.
- Path Tracing is a more intensive form of ray tracing that traces hundreds or thousands of rays through each pixel and follows the rays through numerous bounces off or through objects before reaching the light source in order to collect color and lighting information.
- Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) is a popular ray tracing acceleration technique that uses a tree-based “acceleration structure” that contains multiple hierarchically-arranged bounding boxes (bounding volumes) that encompass or surround different amounts of scene geometry or primitives. Testing each ray against every primitive intersection in the scene is inefficient and computationally expensive, and BVH is one of many techniques and optimizations that can be used to accelerate it. The BVH can be organized in different types of tree structures and each ray only needs to be tested against the BVH using a depth-first tree traversal process instead of against every primitive in the scene. Prior to rendering a scene for the first time, a BVH structure must be created (called BVH building) from source geometry. The next frame will require either a new BVH build operation or a BVH refitting based on scene changes.
- Denoising Filtering is an advanced filtering techniques that can improve performance and image quality without requiring additional rays to be cast. Denoising can significantly improve the visual quality of noisy images that might be constructed of sparse data, have random artifacts, visible quantization noise, or other types of noise. Denoising filtering is especially effective at reducing the time ray traced images take to render, and can produce high fidelity images from ray tracers that appear visually noiseless. Applications of denoising include real-time ray tracing and interactive rendering. Interactive rendering allows a user to dynamically interact with scene properties and instantly see the results of their changes updated in the rendered image.
- Rasterization is a technique used to display three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional screen. With rasterization, objects on the screen are created from a mesh of virtual triangles, or polygons, of different shapes and sizes. The corners of the triangles — known as vertices — are associated with a lot of information including its position in space, as well as information about color, texture and its “normal,” which is used to determine the way the surface of an object is facing. Computers convert the triangles of the 3D models into pixels, or dots, on a 2D screen. Each pixel can be assigned an initial color value from the data stored in the triangle vertices. Further pixel processing or “shading,” including changing color based on how lights in the scene hit, and applying one or more textures, combine to generate the final color applied to a pixel. Rasterization is used in real-time computer graphics and while still computationally intensive, it is less so compared to Ray Tracing.
- Hybrid Rasterization and Ray Tracing is a technique that uses rasterization and ray tracing concurrently to render scenes in games or other applications. Rasterization can determine visible objects and render many areas of a scene well and with high performance. Ray tracing is best utilized for rendering physically accurate reflections, refractions, and shadows. Used together, they are very effective at attaining high quality with good frame rates.
Accelerating Ray Tracing with GPUs
Ray Tracing is a very computationally intensive technique. Movie makers have traditionally relied on vast numbers of CPU based render farms that still can take multiple days to render complex special effects. GPUs can render realistic movie-quality ray traced scenes exponentially faster than CPUs but were limited by the amount of onboard memory which determines how complex a scene could be rendered. Turing adds Tensor Cores for artificial intelligence acceleration providing real-time denoising which drastically reduce the amount of rays needing to be cast as well as RT Cores that accelerate BVH traversal, the most time consuming part of the ray tracing calculations. These hardware advancements paired with powerful software APIs that make up the NVIDIA RTX platform make real-time ray tracing possible in game engines and digital content creation applications.

Creating Dynamic Menus (ex: Left Nav based on Horizontal Nav) in Joomla.
Example: You have a products link on the Horizontal Navigation (Main Navigation) and you want to have a dynamic Left Navigation (Left Nav) to appear with all the Products that you offer.
- Go to Article Manager
- Create an article for your main Products page and one article for each for your products. Example: Product-1, Product-2, Product-3
- Go to Menu Manager
- Create a Menu Item called "Products" on your Horizontal Navigation Menu (or whatever your site's main navigation menu is) and link it with your main products page
Example: Your menu is called "Main" in the menu manager and you have "Home", "Products", "Services" etc.. under the Main Menu and this is displayed as "HorNav"
- Create a new Menu called "Products". (This is a new menu not a menu item)
- Create Menu Items for each product "Product-1", "Product-2", "Product-3" under the "Products" Menu
- Go to Module Manager
- Create a new module, Select "menu" and name it as "Products"
- Under Module Parameters, select Menu Name as "Products"
- Under the Menu Assignment Select the radio button "Select Menu Item(s) from the List". Choose the following items (this means you are restricting that to this module)
1) "Main" Menu => "Products" Menu Item link
2) "Products" Menu => Select all the products (Product-1, Product-2 and Product-3) in our example
- Save it and you are all set to have a beautiful dynamic Products menu.
If you add a new Product let's say "Product-4" , You need to go to the Module Manager again and select that item as well Under the Menu Assignment, so that all products are displayed when you click on "product-4" link. This has to be done every time you add a new product. | <urn:uuid:45e0bef2-8e51-4b71-b86f-41bf8610786c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://docs.joomla.org/Dynamic_Menus | 2019-07-20T04:26:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.877625 | 512 |
If you’re in the market for a vehicle because you recently passed your license, then there are a couple of important things you absolutely have to remember before you invest your cash. Whether you’re getting a small budget vehicle, an expensive high-end car or a mid-range saloon, there are plenty of choices available on the market. But with each consideration, you also need to remember that there are many concerns and small nuances that you have to keep in mind.
In this article, we’re going to explain a couple of things about buying vehicles that you’ve likely not heard.
Buying used is often more expensive than new
Did you know that buying a used car is often more expensive than a new one? This is usually because the financing deals offered by car dealerships are more expensive than new cars. They usually come with higher interest rates and may even ask for additional charges at the dealership itself. You can easily expect to pay 10 to 20 percent more than the asking price that is shown on the car windscreen. In addition, buying a used car often invites plenty of problems such as old and worn parts that soon need to be replaced.
You’re going to ruin it
Sooner or later, you’re going to be in some form of crash (minor or major) that requires you to contact a lawyer such as Alpert Schreyer. The reason isn’t because you’re a terrible driver or because you’re in an unsafe car, but because you’re not the only factor on the road. Other poor drivers could bump into you, a new driver could accidentally scrape your car while parking their own, and you might even end up in a pile-up on a busy and congested street. The lesson here? Make sure you can live with the idea of scratches on your car or the idea of paying to fix your vehicle once it does get damaged. It’s not going to last forever no matter how safe you are!
Priorities are important
Unless you have the money to purchase a vehicle that has every single feature you need (highly unlikely that this car exists!) then you need to get priorities straight. There’s a reason people buy “family” cars to go alongside their regular vehicles. Some people need more space for seats, some people need more security features, and others just want a large vehicle that sits higher on the road. Make a list of priorities and stick with them! Don’t neglect this step or else you’ll end up locked in a financing contract that you are unable to get out of, forcing you to pay for a vehicle you dislike or don’t find fitting to your lifestyle.
All in all, buying a vehicle is a tough task and there are plenty of considerations to keep in mind. Make sure you look at these points and pick a vehicle after you’ve looked through these considerations. | <urn:uuid:c53436a1-9af5-4437-80a8-43a9e160fb95> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://drivenautos.com/2018/07/first-time-buying-car-3-things-no-one-told/ | 2019-07-20T02:52:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.972326 | 607 |

What is Home Automation?
Home automation, often referred to as a “smart home,” provides you with the opportunity to control mostly all of the devices in your home from a computer or mobile device anywhere in the world. Examples of home automation includes: control of adjusting the lights, thermostat, sprinklers, appliances, security systems and much more. Home automation systems provide you with the convenience, comfort and protection while promoting a green life style.
Over the years, home automation systems have transformed from being wired to a local network, to being completely wireless. Now with the innovative advancement of cloud computing, home automation systems can quickly and easily be reached globally with any mobile device.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is a wireless technology that literally puts the power of controlling and monitoring your home in the palm of your hand. By installing Z-Wave technology, your regular household appliances such as lights, thermostats, sprinklers and more transform into “smart” appliances. Z-Wave products “communicate” wirelessly and securely and can be accessed and controlled remotely. Z-wave allows you to access and monitor most appliances inside your home regardless of where you are. Enerwave has a large selection of Z-Wave products that all work together to ensure that you find the best products for your home.
Many repetitive tasks can be automatically simplified by using home automation. Instead of turning off four different lights when you want to relax and watch a movie, home automation allows you to press one button and be done!
2. Save Money
Utilities can quickly amount to over several hundred dollars every month. By taking advantage of home automation, you can turn lights off, adjust the thermostat and turn off other appliances automatically. Since you can monitor appliance usage while you are away from your home, you can lower your utility bills dramatically by 10 -25 percent.
3. Increase Home Security
Several accidents occur each year due to poor lighting. Home automation such as light sensors, can automatically turn lights on in closets, stairways and other dark places, reducing the chances of tripping or injuring yourself.
4. Home Security
Although home security is a high priority for every homeowner, its expensive installation and monthly fees can add up quickly. Home automation provides an inexpensive solution to home security. For example, if you are away from your home, you can randomly set lights to turn on or off .
5. Energy Efficient
Home automation systems promote environmental awareness and are proven to be a good solution to help preserve our natural resources. These products can help you pin-point how much energy you are using on a daily basis, allowing you to see how and where you can reduce energy usage.
6. Peace of Mind
Never worry about your home while you are gone again! Simply log-in to a mobile app to check the status of your home and children anytime by installing security cameras in your home.
7. Learning Experience
The more you and your family learn about all of the technological advancements, the better prepared you are for the future. Turn home automation into a family project by showing your children how to install and connect products. By consistently monitoring your home remotely, you can even get your children involved to see how they can be a part of saving energy.
8. Fun for the Entire Family
The home automation system most of all is a lot of fun for the entire family. You will find that using home automation will bring your family closer as you all learn better and smarter ways to conserve energy and will feel safer and better protected. Home automation systems allow you to worry less and have more time to enjoy with your family and friends. | <urn:uuid:b644dc9f-2cbd-4310-ab5b-e800d055d00a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://enerwaveautomation.com/ | 2019-07-20T03:25:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.938932 | 754 |
Reach it! To That Sky! is the 18th episode of the Fairy Tail anime.
Erza Scarlet, with the help of Natsu Dragneel, breaks the membrane that was covering Galuna Island and releases its residents from its curse. They have a party and then they leave for Fairy Tail, but not without a new spirit for Lucy.
Erza and Natsu are going to destroy the moon and the villagers are excited, but Gray, Lucy and Happy are a bit frightened. Erza devises a plan; she will throw the De-Malevo-Lance, and Natsu will propel it even more with his Fire Magic. Everything is ready and the Spear is thrown. Apparently, the Spear breaks the Moon, but, after a few seconds, it is shown that it’s not the Moon that crumbles; instead it's a transparent membrane created by the Moon Drip. This membrane was apparently the reason why the moon looked purple, and also the reason why the villagers lost their memories.
The villagers are revealed to have been Demons from the beginning, but the dome manipulated their memories into thinking that they were humans. They remember this fact, and also remember their history and the reason why they couldn’t approach the ruins, being of darkness, they couldn’t get near such holy light. After these events, Bobo enters the village, and shows everyone that in fact he is alive. Everyone rejoiced, and spread their wings. They dance in the night's sky like angels and then decide to have a feast. Everyone is happy to participate, and the villagers’ ability to return in a human form is shown. Some of the girls, including Lulu, hit on Gray, who gets up and dances with them, while the others relax.
Yuka Suzuki and Sherry Blendy descend from the mountains, and speak of retribution. At first it appears as though they came to fight for what the group did to Lyon, but after Erza quickly disarms them, they reveal their true motive. They come for punishment, feeling guilty for what they did to the village. They remember their days of pain, and the reason why they followed Lyon. Natsu quickly forgives them, and invites them into the feast. From the shadows, Zalty sees it all, and using his Orb, he communicates it to Siegrain. He releases his transformation and turns into Ultear Milkovich. Siegrain hopes that they never interrupt their plans, and the communication is cut.
The next day, Lucy sees Gray’s scar and says that is going to be permanent, but Gray likes it. They get ready to leave, and Erza says that since the request was unofficial, they cannot take the money, but out of respect for their newfound friendship, they will take the key. Lucy is over the moon in happiness, but the guys do not care. They all leave using the ship Erza stole with every villager wanting them to come and visit. Lyon and the others see from afar, and Lyon, having followed Gray’s advice, asks Sherry if guilds are fun.
At Era, Ultear arrives and meets with Siegrain. They are both disappointed about Deliora’s fate, and it's revealed that the daughter Ur thought dead is actually Ultear. She belittles her mother, but nevertheless, they both think highly of her Magic. Ultear thinks highly of Natsu too, and Siegrain thinks that for his plan to work, he must get stronger, and he will since he is the son of Igneel.
Team Natsu returns home, fretting over the reward. Erza reminds them that there is still going to be punishment, and Natsu, Happy and Gray mention that. They are so afraid of that that Natsu tries to leave, Gray talks to himself, and Happy is in denial. Lucy wonders what that' is; but all she gets is fear and more fear and groans as Erza pulls them along.

Should the airline deny boarding due to overbooking, then the same rules apply as for delay and cancellation..
Should delays occur of over 3 hours until a seat in the next plane is arranged, claims of between 250,00 and 600.00 Euro can be asserted and for delays of 5 hours and more the customer can regard the flight as annulled. An annulled flight enable the claimants i.e. the flight passengers to the same distance staggered claims as for delays or cancellations. These are set at 250.00 to 600.00 Euro per passenger, with eventual hotel, transport replacement costs added on.
Take care to be at the airport and checked-in punctually, even if you hear of a delay of your flight before you arrive there. Should the airline decide on short-notice replacement flight, you could lose your right to compensation.
By delays of three hours and more:
- 250.00 Euro for an overbooked short-haul flight
- 400.00 Euro for an overbooked medium-haul flight
- 600.00 Euro for an overbooked long-haul flight | <urn:uuid:f738cf1a-8f4b-4b9c-93fc-b702cf62e751> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://flightrefund4u.com/services/denied/ | 2019-07-20T03:21:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.921225 | 229 |
This Mustanger was not trying to politically correct, use perfect english etc. He was RANTING! After about two lines, I had a mental picture of the civic and, from experience, could relate to what was burning his donkey. A great cure for those who are so proud of their subwoofers that they disregard everyone else is a 240gr JHP right through the voice coil of that S-woofer! I respectfully dont agree that the author made a mistake------------he was on a deserved rant.
What I do not agree with (even though I can understand it) is the language he used. Now dont misunderstand, having been in boot camp and around rough talking men (and women) I can use that kind of language with the best of them----however, It has absolutely no place in a public forum where our wives and kids read. They can and will learn it all on their own, but since it is not a sign of intellect, why is it necessary to such an extent--------we "aint" talking about just an occasional slip!
Obviously he is within his forum rules-----or the moderator is asleep.
I hope this forum never allows such "loose" language---even on a rant. | <urn:uuid:802b3dcf-4ede-470a-8592-1038b78be1a9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://forums.tccoa.com/22-miscellaneous/73379-mustang-guy-talking-trash-cl.html | 2019-07-20T03:51:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.978675 | 250 |

Primavera Sound Barcelona
Whilst the majority of rappers, in their eagerness to stand out, abandon complex questions and most questions of conscience, IDK (formerly Jay IDK) does things his way. At the age of only 25, the Maryland artist exposes his demons in each rhyme, it is an exploration of his stormy teenage years, drugs, money, violence and the loss of his mother in a flow that has earned him comparisons with Kendrick Lamar and Isaiah Rashad. Yes, he has written songs from behind bars, but you only have to listen to his majestic IWASVERYBAD (2017) to feel the redemption. You will end up seeing him as one of the most honest narrators of his time.

That’s right: If you are a Republic character, you will finally be able to fight alongside the best people in the universe: the Sith Empire. And if you’re a traitor to the Empress, you can fight alongside the Galactic Republic.
I also wanted to amplify another announcement about a couple of long-awaited companions. Republic Troopers, you will finally get your love interest Elara Dorne back, and Sith Warriors, you will finally be able to Force choke Malavai Quinn again, just as you always wanted.
I’ll explain the details, my opinion, and show a teaser video on the matter below in this edition of Hyperspace Beacon.
Fighting for the other team
A while back, BioWare dropped all the designations for the extant servers. There are no longer PvE, PvP, or RP servers, much to the chagrin of the roleplay community. Instead, we now have PvE and PvP instances within every server, and no RP designation at all because eff those RP guys, I guess. Iokath, when it launches in a couple of weeks on April 11th, will contain a new daily area. Of course, you can be a carebear (like me) and stick to your PvE instance as you grind through. Or you can hop to the open-world PvP instance and make things a bit more interesting. BioWare is encouraging this.
First, the game will allow you to join whichever faction you’d like, regardless of the faction your class belongs to. The storyline revolves around the Empire and the Republic fighting over Iokath technology. As the Emperor of the Eternal Empire and Commander of the Odessen Alliance, you have the opportunity to pick a side. Because you’re the leader of the dominant faction, your involvement will clearly sway the course of the battle.
Mechanically, when you make the choice of which faction to side with, you will become a part of that faction when PvP flagged on Iokath. For example, you might have been a Sith Warrior during the main story, serving the former Emperor as his Wrath and fighting against the Galactic Republic. But since becoming the Outlander and enemy of the Sith Emperor, you might have had a change of heart. Now, in the War for Iokath, you want to fight alongside the Republic, and you can. When you flag for PvP on that planet, you will be able to fight against those who have chosen to side with the Empire.
The opposite could happen, too. Maybe you’re a Trooper who was burned by Saresh, and you would like to maintain your agreement with Empress Acina. So you decide to support the Empire in the War for Iokath.
Spoils of war
Community Manager Eric Musco posted the requirements for joining the War for Iokath on the official forums on Monday. “There is only one requirement to be able to access the new story content in 5.2, the character must be level 70,” he wrote. Truly, that’s it.
Musco goes on to explain that in order to get to level 70 in any fashion, you have to have subbed for at least a month since the launch of Knights of the Eternal Throne, and in order to access the raid content, you will likewise have to be subscribed. But for the rest of the daily content, you will not have to be currently subscribed. That means Preferred Players who have unsubbed since the launch of KOTET will still be able to access the new content — a step in the right direction for BioWare, if you ask me. (Now, if the devs could only fix the Command XP thing! That might be coming, but I will withhold my opinion until I see it live and get to experience it for myself.)
Another interesting addition Musco mentioned was the ability to loot players in open-world PvP on Iokath. In another post, he called it a way to “make PvP more of a focus beyond just a place for open world PvP to occur.” He explains that the items you will loot from other players will not be items from their inventory, thankfully. Instead, players will drop a special Iokath currency that can be used to purchase an AT-ST-type walker mount that itself can be used in combat. And for those who are asking: No, you will not be looting the currency from that player’s inventory, either. PvP in SWTOR remains essentially the same: without real consequence. Not that I mind, but for those who are looking for high-risk, high-reward PvP, this isn’t going to be it.
If you immediately see a possible exploit, then you’re not alone: I see it, too. However, BioWare has yet to make mention of it. And given the mechanics of the faction and loot systems, I don’t exactly see a way around the possible exploit. If you don’t see the exploit, then you are a good person, and I don’t want to taint you. For those who do see it, I have two questions: Are you going to take advantage of it, and why is it that BioWare cannot seem to learn from the mistakes of its past, especially with this expansion?
Why killing Quinn is not really an option
Lastly, I would like to touch on something near and dear to my heart: revenge on Malavai Quinn. As any proper Sith Warrior will know, Quinn is a disgusting person and deserves to be tortured and killed. However, I have a feeling that I will be forced to forgive him again for some contrived reason. As we can see in the video above, we meet with Dorne and Quinn. Most likely, this is when we choose which faction we support. Unless there is a major plot twist, if we want to support the Empire, we will have to keep Quinn alive, which will be highly disappointing to me and my Sith Warrior.
What are your thoughts on any of this? Do you like the open-world PvPness? Do you like how you can switch factions on Iokath, even though it will not affect any other PvP instance or zone? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. | <urn:uuid:d5aaf757-da9c-4625-a7c2-b3d3287d06bf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://massivelyop.com/2017/03/29/hyperspace-beacon-star-wars-the-old-republic-will-finally-allow-us-to-switch-factions/ | 2019-07-20T02:56:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.954675 | 1,297 |
Finding a new venue is always an exciting discovery; I had never visited The Musical Museum at Kew Bridge in West London, but it is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and in addition to housing some interesting musical artefacts it also hosts a concert series as well as many other activities. The Museum’s concert hall is a delightful space, set with a high stage and beautifully ornate early Twentieth century grand piano; it’s akin to stepping back in time and provided an intimate setting for a Sunday afternoon of music making.
Hungarian Dances is a novel written by author and music journalist, Jessica Duchen. It was published in 2009 and traces the life of a Gypsy violinist and her family. Jessica has turned her highly acclaimed book into a concert which effectively incorporates extracts from the novel with Gypsy inspired music. Words and music are most certainly a winning combination, and the performance was a wonderful mixture of expressive narrative punctuated with music for violin and piano by composers from various genres and historical periods.
This format is becoming an increasingly popular feature in concert programmes. It’s a happy marriage of two eloquent art forms and is so successful because it bestows the perfect opportunity for storytelling. Jessica’s narrative was both powerful and poignant, and her delivery commanded total attention. The balance between words and music was very well judged, with neither dominating.
The heroine, Mimi, is taken from her Gypsy roots, and introduced to a different world through her intensive training as a classical violinist. The audience are taken on Mimi’s journey which is full of twists and turns; love, loss, displacement and personal transformation. Romance was juxtaposed with grittier topics such as references to concentration camps and inevitable death. At each stage an appropriate work was presented, nostalgically characterising the various landmarks in her career, family life and ultimately the life of her Granddaughter too; the music evocatively reflecting the mood of the story.
David Le Page (violin) and Viv McLean (piano) offset Jessica’s narrative exquisitely. They treated the audience to a veritable feast consisting of ten mainly Gypsy influenced pieces from Dohnányi’s Andante rubato alla zingaresca which opened the concert, to Monti’s ever popular Czardas, the piano part of which was imbued with some interesting chromatic (that’s jazz to you and me!) chordal additions and this rendition brought the house down. Claude Debussy’s Violin Sonata closed the first half and really demonstrated their skill, both with regards to ensemble (they have quite clearly worked as a duo for years) and in creating a shimmering sound world of Impressionistic colour.
Mimi’s introduction to Professor Bela Bartók coincided with an account of the composer’s Romanian Dances which were delivered with gusto, rhythmic drive and total commitment. No self-respecting Gypsy music recital would be complete without Ravel’s Tzigane, which was, for me, the highlight; played with real panache and flare, and full of essential Gypsy inspired rubato. A couple of Brahms’ Hungarian Dances (arranged by Joachim) were choice inclusions, and less familiar but equally lovely were the Valse Triste by Franz Von Vecsey and Hejre Kati by Jenö Hubay. The selection was an eclectic, fragrant pot- pourri of different musical textures, styles and sentiments.
Hungarian Dances – The Concert was an impassioned, mellifluous and emotional voyage; a snapshot of human life and in a sense, of humanity too. The audience loved every minute and were totally absorbed by the enduring, compelling partnership of words and music.
You can purchase the novel, Hungarian Dances here.

Politicians are causing crisis in south east says Army
The Nigerian Army has accused some unnamed politicians of attempting to cause crisis between its personnel and people in the South East for their selfish interest.
The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, stated this on Friday.
Usman was reacting to the face-off between the army and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Abia.
He said: “It is so sad and unfortunate that a particular group of people, for political expediency and mischief, are trying to set the military and Nigerian society against each other.
“It is sad and unfortunate.”
The army spokesman, however, maintained that despite the face-off, the army would go ahead to conduct its “Operation Python Dance II,” due to commence on Friday.
“It will commence on 15, September 2017. The troops have been conducting themselves professionally within the ambit of rules of engagement and code of conduct and where there are noted infractions, appropriate measures will be taken.’’
Usman described the face-off between the army and members of IPOB in Abia as an isolated issue which was being blown out of proportion by some people.
“These isolated incidences, instigated by miscreants and mischief makers, therefore, should not be taken as something that should jeopardize the military exercise going on in that place.
“It is really sad and unfortunate that people will not find time to ask question about the essence and activities involved in respect of exercise Egwu Eke II before jumping into conclusion.
“The exercise is taking part in the entire South East and Cross River, why should we have problem in one state – Abia.
“There is no reported problem in Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Cross River States,” Usman added.
The army spokesman called for understanding, saying there “is need for all of us to be more responsible, exercise understanding about the issues at hand, support and encourage the military to perform its legitimate duty.
“The exercise we are having has been scheduled since last year – 2016. It is not targeted at any segment of the Nigerian society.
“As a matter of fact, it was because of the encouraging feedback that we have about the conduct of exercise Python Dance I in 2016 that brought the idea of having another exercise.
“And being a responsible organisation, people said Python Dance seems to be something awkward, so, why don’t you call it in the native language of those people so that they can understand it just like you have exercise Harbin Kunama.
“We have had exercises in other parts of the country.
“As soon as we are done with exercise Egwu Eke II, we are embarking on exercise Crocodile Smile II which is also a scheduled training exercise in the circle of the Nigerian army training year, 2017.
“And this time around, beyond the South South Zone, it will be extended to the South West zone, involving 2 Division, 6 Division and 81 Division,’’he stated.
He argued that Egwu Eke was not an operation but a training exercise intended to sharpen the skills of those involved.

Alaska Month-to-Month Lease Agreement Template
The Alaska month-to-month lease agreement is a contract between the tenant and the landlord, one which dictates that the tenant must pay rent every month in order to remain a lessee. This is a binding contract with no end date that can be terminated any month if the tenant or landlord so wishes (provided proper notice was given). If the landlord is worried about potential damage to the property, the landlord can require the tenant to pay a security deposit on top of the first month’s rent at the beginning of the lease. Like many other lease agreements, it is suggested that the landlord screen their potential tenants through a rental application form.

Work boots can wear out quickly. If you need a new pair of boots, it’s essential to take the time to find the perfect work boots for your needs. Consider these features when you’re shopping for your next pair of footwear.
Choosing boots that fit you is essential to limit soreness after a long workday on your feet. Shop for work boots that come in a variety of sizes and half-sizes to get the best fit. If you have broad feet, look for brands that offer extra-wide widths as well.
Insoles offer support for your arch and ensure comfort while you work throughout the day. Try boots with removable insoles so you can replace them if needed. Always try boots on, walk around a bit, and wiggle your toes before you purchase new footwear. When boot shopping, don’t forget to wear the type of heavy socks you wear every work day.
Accidents can happen on a worksite. In addition to a good fit, safety features are important. Steel toes protect your feet if a heavy object falls or rolls over them. Depending on the work you do, aluminum or composite toes could be better for you. A disadvantage of steel toes is that they make the boots heavier. Composite toes are lighter and still offer protection from falling debris.
If you work outside, you’ll want waterproof boots to keep your feet dry and healthy. Those who work in marshy areas can opt for snake-proof boots. Snake-proof boots rise to your knee and are made of durable leather or other material. The Chippewa snake-proof boot shaft made of Vipercloth prevents fang penetration to protect your feet from snake bites.
Cold weather can make outdoor work miserable, especially if your feet get cold. Waterproofing will keep your feet dry in snow and rain. Check the boot’s insulation material to make sure your footgear will keep your feet warm and toasty in the cold weather. Look for insulation such as 3M Thinsulate that won’t add a lot of extra weight to your boots. You can find various levels of padding to protect you during different temperatures and activity levels.
Traction and Stability
Slips and falls are common causes of workplace injuries. Choose boots with deep tread and rubber soles that offer traction and help you stay on your feet as you move around while you work.
You’ll be wearing your work boots a lot, so choose a style that you like and looks good on your feet. Manufacturers offer different styles and colors to suit your taste. When you find a comfortable pair of boots that look great, you may even wear them after work and on the weekend.
When it’s time to replace your work boots, take some time to try on different pairs to find boots that feel comfortable and look great. Make sure the boots offer the safety and insulation features you need to stay safe on the job. | <urn:uuid:0b8c04b9-e428-4326-afc6-2085ea9608de> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://shoeaholicsanonymous.com/5-features-to-look-for-in-the-perfect-work-boot/ | 2019-07-20T04:12:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.93645 | 603 |
With roots in US military communications research, Silvus StreamCaster radios were developed to handle the most challenging military operations on Earth. Now this technology is landing in the civilian sphere. Silvus systems are capable of providing superior performance in situations where high-throughput wireless video and data transmission is a necessity, such as newsgathering, live sports and production shoots in remote or challenging locations. By relying on a proprietary self-healing, self-forming mesh technology in either licensed or unlicensed frequency bands, Silvus MN-MIMO radios are a single network solution for complex broadcasting situations.
Link all of your field assets to the station via a secure private network that enables operation in remote areas where public cell phone isn’t available. Silvus StreamCaster radios excel in dense urban environments, including non-line-of-sight and from within buildings.
Unleash your portable camera operations by mounting Silvus radios to your camera. Silvus StreamCaster 4200 radio is light enough to mount to equipment, creating broadcast wireless systems that provide complete freedom of movement for the camera operator. Coverage can be extended as needed using repeater radios, so your cameras can follow the action, no matter where it leads.
Now every newsgathering vehicle can become a powerful long-distance transmission and reception device. As well as transmitting their own high-throughput HD video, each vehicle in your fleet can simultaneously act as a relay, connecting a wireless camera or MN-MIMO-augmented bonded cellular pack to the station. Multiple Silvus-equipped MN-MIMO vehicles can simultaneously connect to the same fixed site on the same frequency, greatly simplifying logistics for broadcasts with multiple live-shots. Full remote control and monitoring is also supported from both the remote vehicle and the studio side of the Silvus MN-MIMO link. Finally, transitioning your teams to MN-MIMO is seamless. Vehicles can be equipped with hybrid-switchable Silvus MN-MIMO/COFDM systems to ensure backward compatibility with your existing COFDM RX sites.
Move fast and far with MN-MIMO-enabled cellular backpacks. Create a robust and reliable wireless IP connection in areas where cellular networks are not available or reliable. Connect your entire team with multiple augmented backpacks operating on a single frequency/mesh. Extend coverage as needed through the use of repeater radios. Silvus MN-MIMO-equipped bonded cellular packs automatically transition between the MN-MIMO mesh network and any other cellular networks to provide seamless HD video connectivity in non-line-of-sight scenarios, adverse cellular network conditions, or when multiple parties are competing for limited cellular capacity.
Elevate the data transmission capabilities of your aerial assets. ENG helicopters, airships and UAVs equipped with Silvus radios can transmit their own program video while simultaneously acting as a relay, providing connectivity back to the station for wireless camera systems and MN-MIMO augmented backpacks. Transmit video feeds simultaneously from multiple cameras on a single airship over the same frequency channel, eliminating the need for video switching in the aircraft. Return video, IFB and FTP are all supported over the same MN-MIMO RF network. Equip your entire aerial fleet with hybrid-switchable Silvus MN-MIMO/CODFM systems to ensure backward compatibility.
Silvus MN-MIMO radios bring military-grade technology to demanding live-action broadcast situations. | <urn:uuid:aade4602-ef76-4b9a-9bf2-34c364c5e4d3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://silvustechnologies.com/applications/broadcasting/ | 2019-07-20T03:59:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.911337 | 724 |

The start of this TLC journey was one out of pure desperation. This was my all-or-nothing re-start. And what a journey it has been. Even though there was an ultimate end-goal in mind, I took every day just one meal at a time. And the more the results started showing, the more determined I was get to that eventual end-goal!
I’m proud of how far I have come on this journey and most certainly wouldn’t have been able to do it without my wonderful family’s support as well as my TLC-Coach, Amanda’s guidance – from her daily motivations to her shocked-face emoji’s when asking if I can just have one glass of wine for my birthday, LOL
TLC has given me the tools to make healthy choices and I now know what my body enjoys and what it doesn’t.

Life is fiction:
a series of lies
that hide the truth
There’s a war going on out there. It’s a clash of heroes as big as the ones on the silver screen. It pulls us all into its bloody depths at some point in our lives, though unfortunately for some the tour is over with school. The conflict is the incessant battle between reality and fiction.
We all know the difference between these two, but we don’t all relate to them in the same way. For example, some shun un-reality for it’s failure to meet the demands of what they consider “real life”, while others live behind the facade of fiction in order to escape what they don’t want to face. Some simply put a low priority on fiction and feel it isn’t important (oh god, not those people); meanwhile, some others enjoy fiction but have trouble fitting it into the rigorous turmoil of life.
But from my perspective, all of these can be broken down basically into two categories: those who value fiction and those who don’t. I’m the former. And I do not hesitate to classify people in this way, because I think the distinction is crucial.
Fiction is important to me, and I’ve been finding myself questioning why. I want to read stories that aren’t true, that have no foundation in the real world. Am I just fooling myself with make-believe? Am I hiding from the real world behind a facade of lies? The question, I think, is more important than the me-who-never-considered-it ever thought it could be. What I once thought were just fun stories have become something more. And I don’t think it’s a new theory.
I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which ‘Escape’ is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?― J.R.R. Tolkien
Fiction is timeless. It’s as old as the human ability to create and relate it, and for as long as there’ve been people on this earth communicating with one another we’ve been telling each other stories. Stories of legend, stories of myth, stories of heroes and wars and beauties and valour and honour. A mighty deed done can be immortalized forever in the telling. Because stories are how we remember. Whether it’s the lie we tell ourselves to make us feel better, or the tale of courage we share to give our friends hope, fiction is a binding force that has power over the human mind. A story can turn a farmer into a hero, or a king into a beggar.
Stories last forever. We do not. Perhaps it’s the only way we as humans can overcome the plague of death.
It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.― Mark Twain
First of all, the agelessness of stories aught to tell the most truth about the nature of fiction. Why have we been telling stories so long if they don’t hold some inherent value for the human soul? Of course it could be argued, however vainly, that stories likely began as retellings of true events, and fiction is nothing more than a deviant to the truth. Sure, maybe a thousand years ago a brave warrior cuts down a dragon with his sword, and everyone the country over is talking about it. A millennia later we have a fantastic story of a knight in glittering mail who wields a fire-branded weapon and cuts off the three heads of a terrible, fire-breathing dragon. The story is embellished, but the roots are true. Isn’t that what’s important?
No, I would argue it’s the hero’s deeds which made the story tellable that are important. This is what inspires stories: it’s the reason behind them. And the same reasons stand behind the enigmatic curtain of fiction. A story-teller never tells a story without a purpose.
Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
Secondly, we are a people born to a world of indolence which we created for ourselves. We sort of enjoy being lazy. We enjoy being safe. Even if we face the challenges life throws at us bravely, we still have little trouble gloating in the luxury we’ve built for ourselves by these hurtles. Thousands of years of survival have taught us to take the path of least resistance, and we’ve become quite good at it. As weird as it is to say, it’s a survival instinct – or a product of it, anyway: as in, we are this way because we have survived. Now we sit back and tell tales around the fire of what we’ve accomplished. And because we are human, the deeds in the stories must be more grand than they are in real life. We revel in the accomplishments we’ve made.
And so King Arthur drew the sword from the stone, and Saint George slew the dragon, and Beowulf tore off Grendel’s arm, Robin Hood stole King John’s gold, Atlantis slipped beneath the waves, and adventurers the world over have hunted for Eldorado, the Holy Grail, and the Fountain of Youth. Because we deserve to take a break and feel good about where we came from. We are human, and we can be proud of that.
Fiction is lies; we’re writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.― George R. R. Martin
But there’s another point I want to make, and it’s this: denying fiction its power over our understanding of reality endangers us to forget the horrible and beautiful truths we don’t want to face. The world we live in can be an ugly place, and we don’t want to admit just how ugly it gets. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the monotony of life and need a reminder there’s more outside our walls. Sometimes we forget about the little things. Read a story; consider the backdrop; compare your reality. Fiction tells invisible truths.
But what if we shut that off? What if we confine ourselves to whatever subculture we live in and choose to ignore everything beyond our walls? The results of such a folly are dismal and many times has been the subject of fiction stories. It’s a tale of woe and horror that holds the power to either frighten or alarm. If we let it frighten us, we’re likely to make a dissimilar mistake; if we let it alarm us, we can process the reasons and the results and choose a better course. We need to think about the things we read.
So this is what it comes down to. Fiction is a medium for sharing ideas. Fiction is a place of understanding. It can be a foul but palatable meal. It can be an escape from a regrettable reality. It can be a celebration of the accomplishments we’ve made. Or it can be the only salvation for a mind that can’t make sense of the hell it’s fallen into. Fiction is freedom, and it never dies.
In the words of one of the greatest fiction writers of all time,
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.― Stephen King | <urn:uuid:a73a7569-b223-4789-b8f0-975883820108> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.adbane.com/fiction-never-dies/ | 2019-07-20T03:38:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.945319 | 1,688 |
Quarantine merely because they know it was adapted from the Spanish film [Rec] might want to untwist their knickers until they’ve actually seen the film (which debuts Friday, October 10). After all, filmmakers John and Drew Dowdle were adapting a movie they’d never seen — because it hadn’t even been made yet. ” “We didn’t work in conjunction
with [Rec]‘s directors Jaume Balaguer and Paco Plaza…We were actually adapting the remake while they were still finishing their film,” said John, the older of the two brothers. “The week we delivered our script to Screen Gems was the week that we finally watched [Rec].”
Actually seeing the original gave them a second creative boost. “Of course there were things they’d done so phenomenally, we’d have been stupid to pass thrm up. We tried to incorporated those things, but there were other things we wanted to amp up too. I think the people who loved the original will really love this one as well,” says Dowdle. “When Quarantine was finished, we did screen it for the Spanish studio that did the original, and they just loved our version. I think that’s a good sign!”
The brothers first burst onto the scene with the notorious Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007), a serial-killer pseudo-documentary that left Tribeca Film Festival audiences struggling to separate fact from fiction. As it turns out, moviegoers will have a say over whether that flick ever gets a wide release. “MGM is telling us that if Quarantine opens at $10 million or better, they’ll release Poughkeepsie in early ’09,” Dowdle says. That’s ironic, considering that it was Poughkeepsie that got them the Quarantine gig. Having noted their talent, Vertigo suggested the Dowdles for the pic — alongside a few other seriously established horror directors. “We thought we had very little chance at getting this job,” he recalls. “But my brother and I work as a team, and since there’s two of us, we figured we could out-work and out-prepare almost anybody.” He and Drew worked around the clock for a week — during which they did much of the preproduction — returning to the studio with storyboards, rewrites, photos, and locations all mapped out. “Vertigo loved what we’d done, Screen Gems went crazy for it, and after that it just magically happened,” John said.
Part of what inspired the movie was Dowdle’s belief that some fears are uniquely American. “I think Americans are more scared of their own government,” he observes. “That’s one thing we tried to amplify in our version: not just the threat that’s inside the building, but the threat from outside — our own people, who are willing to do whatever it takes to keep us inside. I think the Spanish have a more casual attitude toward rebellion: Over there, it’s like, ‘Oh, shut up, authority!'”
The studio was entirely behind their approach in regards to casting as well as content. “There’s nothing worse than seeing the PG-13 moniker, and then mainstream-looking Barbie and Ken dolls. You instantly think, ‘Ugh, this is gonna suck,'” laughs John. “The studio understood completely — they said, ‘We don’t want to see this movie if it’s not R-rated.'” The Dowdle brothers’ next project is The Coup, which tells the story of an American family trapped in Cambodia during a violent uprising. “It’s one part horror, one part thriller,” says John. Let’s hope the next flick returns him to the good graces of the Department of Homeland Security.Read More | <urn:uuid:a9148831-ac4d-4cce-9e1e-761d0fae781e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.amc.com/talk/2008/09/web-stalker-d | 2019-07-20T03:55:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.979071 | 851 |

Did you hear the news? We’ve brought back our Volunteer of the Month recognition program for the second year in a row! As a reminder, for this program, we choose one member each month who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in their commitment to ATPE and public education. We look for volunteers who exhibit outstanding leadership and tireless efforts, and we’re relying on YOU for nominees.
Meet October’s Volunteer of the Month, Roya Dinbali of Nacogdoches ATPE!
What is your job title? Where do you work? How long have you been in this role?
I teach forensic science at Nacogdoches High School. This is my seventh year teaching, fifth year at Nac High School, and third year teaching forensic science.
How long have you been an ATPE member? Why did you choose ATPE?
I have been a member for four years. My mentor teacher, Kathy Haselden, told me to join an organization and ATPE was the best, so I joined.
What is your favorite part of your job? Least favorite?
My favorite part: I love my KIDS! My least favorite part: I hate, I hate, I hate grading papers!
What advice would you give to a new educator coming into your position?
Have fun with your kids, go above just teaching the TEKS, teach the kids to be good people, and document EVERYTHING!
What is the most important thing Texas educators can do for their profession?
Elect officials who not only know about the educational system but will make a difference and will work hard to make that change. Our educational system is horrible, and every year, I feel it’s getting worse. We are NOT holding our students responsible, and we are caving into TEA/the government when they are making NO sense.
Share your favorite moment as an educator.
I love when my students come back after graduation and thank me or even keep in touch with me after graduation—it shows that I did make a difference in their lives.

Working together, we have accomplished so much!
|Beyond Toxics played a leading role in a broad coalition to finalize the Cleaner Air Oregon policy enactment. We were tough on advocating for stronger standards that force industrial polluters to reduce their emissions to protect community health and to achieve clean and healthy air. Introducing a bill for Community Toxics Right to Know in 2017 led the state of Oregon to adopt a new requirement that industries report their air toxics emissions inventory and make the data accessible to the public.

Peek inside the new mini Target near BU
<?EM-dummyText [Drophead goes here] ?>
The newest Target to open in Boston, on Commonwealth Avenue, is small. Really, really small.
The floor area of the new store, opening Wednesday, is about one-10th the size of some Target locations. Situated near the Boston University campus, it will cater to students. If you're looking for children's clothes or DVDs, don't bother, because it doesn't sell them.
Think of it more along the lines of an overgrown convenience store, sizewise.
"Target sees Boston as a great place to move into this type of store," said Mike Maher, the store manager. "There's the first-time apartment owners and all the college students."
The new Target, the 29th in Greater Boston, measures just 16,100 square feet, compared to the typical location, which is about 130,000 square feet, a Target spokeswoman said. It sits about a mile from Target's Fenway location, a multifloor behemoth at 160,000 square feet. (It was originally called "CityTarget," but the company has since dropped the name.)
The reduced footprint store comes at a time when another well-known big-box retailer, Walmart, has been shuttering smaller stores. Walmart announced the closure of 269 stores of its 11,600 globally earlier this year, including more than 100 Walmart Express stores, its foray into small spaces.
Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove said the express format was a pilot and that the chain continues to grow and is adding dozens of new so-called Supercenters.
"One of the things the experience told us is we know customers prefer larger format stores and are increasingly turning to e-commerce," he said. "We have stores within 10 miles of 90 percent of the US population, so we've got good reach."
Target's new location, which will employ 70 people, sits in what was formerly the East Coast Alpine ski shop down the street from Packard's Corner, near BU. The store offers familiar cosmetics brands, a tech section featuring Samsung and iPhones products, and aisle after aisle of snacks, ready-to-eat food, and groceries. There's some clothing too, including T-shirts emblazoned with "Drink Up Boston" and "Wicked Smaht."
And because it caters to college students, the furthest corner of the store near the milk features a giant display of inexpensive pasta and Target brand red sauce for $1.72 a jar.
"We've worked closely to make sure we have the right assortment," Maher said.
Target said it will open another small store, which it calls a "flexible format" location, in Central Square in Cambridge in March.
"Target's flexible format locations aren't just downsized, they are customized," company officials said in a fact sheet. "These stores provide a quick-trip shopping experience with a curated assortment of merchandise for local guests." | <urn:uuid:5ec562b0-2149-4f66-8fa4-8d29fc9a46d4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/07/19/take-look-inside-mini-target-near/eIlukOa5MllIh57167nU4J/story.html | 2019-07-20T03:14:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.96393 | 625 |
The Zambian economy needs to take emergency measures to restore high levels of growth as it gets battered by low copper prices, an IMF team has found.
The team’s report found the Zambian economy to be under intense pressure from electricity shortages and poor rainfall as well as copper prices which have halved in around 10 years, factors which have combined to slow growth to 3% in 2015.
Increased inflation, pressure on spending and financing have added to poor economic conditions, the report said.
“Resolute action is needed as quickly as possible to restore macroeconomic stability and pave the way for a return to high sustained growth,” said the IMF.
The team led by Tsidi Tsikata described government finances as being “under immense stress”. Expenditure was exceeding budget largely due to fuel subsidies and emergency electricity imports costing an estimated $660 million a year (equivalent to 3.2% of GDP).
However the team added that it was confident Zambian could meet its economic challenges by taking “resolute action” and said that despite upcoming general elections the government was committed to cutting discretionary spending while safeguarding social protection programs.
“A package of measures that makes clear that the fiscal pressures are being tackled would boost market confidence and pave the way for increased investment and growth. However, delays in implementing corrective measures will only worsen the situation, increase the adjustment cost and postpone the recovery,” said the report.
A drought in Zambia has caused plunging water levels at hydro-electric dams worsening the country’s power supply difficulties.
Refined copper accounts for 55% of Zambia’s total exports of $12.2bn. Raw copper accounts for a further 14%.
Copper production at the country’s older mines is expensive, which has exacerbated the impact of falling copper prices. | <urn:uuid:67b2f339-02da-47e2-98bd-870c57770d09> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cips.org/en/supply-management/news/2016/april/zambia-needs-to-combat-low-copper-prices/ | 2019-07-20T03:55:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.96893 | 380 |

A "Talks at Google" video published Jun 20, 2019,: Dave Jaggar discusses his inspiring career that led to the ARM architecture which effectively powers the digital world, being the reason that your phone is small and doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. Moderator: Raymond Blum. Transcript (auto-generated, unedited).
In the late 1980’s Acorn, a British one-hit-wonder computer company, faced imminent extinction, with its only assets being 18 months of life support rations and perhaps the worst microprocessor ever designed. What they did right was to hire Dave Jaggar, with the ink still wet on his master's thesis. Over eight years Dave systematically defined the entire ARM architecture, enabling it to be a popular embedded controller for the digital revolution, with around 100 billion units shipped. As ARM’s Head of Architecture Design, Dave authored the ARM Architectural Reference Manual and is the Founding Director of the ARM Austin Design Center. More on ARM architecture.
ARM Holdings is a British multinational semiconductor and software design company, owned by SoftBank Group and its Vision Fund. Processors based on designs licensed from ARM, or designed by licensees of one of the ARM instruction set architectures, are used in all classes of computing devices (including in space). ARM is viewed as the most important chip design infrastructure provider in the world as its microchips go into more than 90% of world’s mobile devices.
On June 22, 2019, SoftBank Group Corp. founder Masayoshi Son said he wants to re-list ARM Holdings Plc as a publicly traded company within the next five years (the British chipmaker was acquired for $32 billion in 2016):
"I don’t know which market it will be, but ARM will be preparing for IPO within the next five years. Arm management is all excited about it. We are excited"--SoftBank’s founding Chairman and CEO Son, June 22, 2019.Arm Limited a/k/a Arm Holdings:
- Number of employees: about 6,250 (2018)
- Owner: SoftBank Group 75%; Vision Fund 25%

What: Shares of TravelCenters of America (NASDAQ:TA) got a jolt this afternoon, climbing sharply after the board rejected a takeover bid. As of 2:53 p.m. ET, the stock was up 25.7%.
So what: TravelCenters, the nation's largest truck-stop operator, turned down a December offer from private equity Golden Gate Capital for $14 a share, more than double its closing price yesterday. TravelCenters stock has fallen since last summer as low gas prices have crimped margins, and the company has been pressured by other investors to unlock value.
RDG Capital Fund Management argued that the company should separate its truck-repair business and sell its real estate, and TravelCenters agreed to sell 30 of its rest stops last year to a REIT for $397 million and lease them back.
Now what: According to The Wall Street Journal, Golden Gate Capital is still interested in a deal, which is the likely explanation for today's surge. Investors are hoping that the gas-station operator will get a juicier premium from the private-equity company. Golden Gate has acquired other consumer-facing turnaround businesses recently, including Red Lobster from Darden Restaurants.
TravelCenters appears to be an ideal target for a turnaround specialist: It's missed earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters and analysts expect EPS to fall by more than half this year. With 255 rest stops and 228 convenience stores under the brand name Minit Mart, the company could be seen as an asset play. It was unclear if the board turned down the deal in hopes of a better offer, or if it was simply uninterested in selling the company. | <urn:uuid:16a86905-74bb-4a5f-a0bb-3b332f5f230b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.fool.com/investing/2016/06/15/why-travelcenters-of-america-stock-jumped-today.aspx | 2019-07-20T03:28:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.962133 | 346 |

Scaling Agile for Your Small Business
As small businesses feel their way into the market and industry, the flexibility that agile processes afford business growth can guide and validate the path of the enterprise. Project innovation enervates creative growth within small businesses. Projects that flow through the collective expertise of agile cross-talent collaboration more efficiently accomplish their purpose, while also broadening production and developmental consciousness. Pooled skills and resources combine to communicate, plan, and coordinate shared tasks for project completion.
The agile methodology tends to scale itself with iterations being the basis of the agile method. From the fundamental iterative unit of measure, agile projects can be scaled up or down by requirement and design. The agile method is highly flexible and interactive, allowing the process to scale teams and team activities in response to changing circumstances.
While agile project management for your small business involves flexible innovation within projects, the foundations of enterprise initiatives -- including managed budgets, managed deadlines, customer satisfaction, and efficient delivery -- remain sound and stable constants.
Agile performed with one team is very different from agile performed with tens to hundreds of teams in coordinated programs. Scaling agile augments the size of agile processes from individual teams to multiple teams working on the same program endeavor. Handling dependencies becomes increasingly intricate. Teams must be kept in sync. Management must be kept abreast of program progress. Timelines and dates must integrate and remain constant.
Scaling agile can best ensure continuous delivery, which in turn increases time for innovation in design and architecture. Scaling can also ensure independent operations and decreased dependencies. Layered servers allow a server to crash without crashing the whole system. Teams come together daily to stay abreast of each other’s workloads.
Top management that is hands-on with the initial transition to agile methodologies is one key to also successfully initiating scaling agile programs and agile test management. Recognizing the benefits of scaling agile to enterprise goals and priorities allows management and stakeholders to envision upfront the profit motive for supporting scaling agile programs, while allowing for composite monitoring over the program life cycle.
Once deciding to transition to agile methodologies, how does a company go about transitioning agile to fit company needs? Indications throughout industries seem to indicate that, although the agile process recommends small teams, as a project management system, agile can successfully apply to various team sizes. The agile methodology can therefore be sized and tempered for the scope of your business.
Agile methods are no longer simply described in team terms. The recent enthusiasm is over scaling programs, which include multiple projects in one overall expanded undertaking. The global outburst of enthusiasm for scaling programs focuses on up to seven scaling areas. Small businesses are uniquely positioned in these areas by size and experience.
Types of scaling

Area 1: Growth
One advantage small businesses have over larger organizations is that the rate of organizational effectiveness does not increase at the same speed as the rate of organizational growth. Therefore, smaller organizations are more effectively poised to flexibly implement change. Agile methods position projects in flexibility mode to both accommodate change and produce through the process of change.
Growth is not the target. Customer satisfaction is. Growth is a byproduct of successfully engaging customer satisfaction, and thereby achieving successful deployment. The anticipated increase in successful deployment using agile makes scaling agile an enticing prospect.
Small businesses must consistently and at close intervals look into the level of customer satisfaction; observe the level of sustainable customer interest; and perform product comparisons. Growth in small business product development must remain aligned with company growth, and scaling agile must align with both.
Area 2: Coordination
Coordination starts with an all-inclusive view of the product and normally follows an anticipated 18-month timeline. Scaling agile is also designed to follow the 18-month forecast. Six-month reviews reflect on the state of production as analyzed by sales, customer feedback, and changes in the market.
Coordinated communication is the ‘engine’ of the agile process. As businesses grow, several teams can arise that are working independent of one another even though development is for the same project. Such cases require coordination, an operational alignment provided by scaling agile.
At a certain point of coordination, development and operation merge and teams begin to own application planning. Feature execution, operation, and delivery become team creations. Teams own the entire feature life cycle, motivating the team to avoid product liability and inspiring team members to create great software. From this mode of progressive development, project teams gain respect within scaled agile programs.
Scaling agile resolves, synchronizes, and coordinates tasks among teams within the focal area of deployment. Small businesses can adopt the process to break teams into smaller production team units which scaled agile processes coordinate.

Area 3: Adaptation
Agile project teams work autonomously within managerial alignment. Scaling agile allows managerial programs to govern multiple team performance which is directed towards a targeted outcome. Teams are driven and motivated by an autonomy that aligns itself with business strategies using scaling agile programs that achieve the right balance for efficient production.
The team makes autonomous decisions in respect to planning and developing the product. If adherence to the overall design framework is maintained, the approach to development is left to the best judgement of team members. Project and program managers enforce project and program rules for smooth development progress.
Adaptation works on supporting functions, as well as team tasks. File management, support staff, marketers, business managers, and analysts are a few roles that support agile development process. Adapted job functions can support team tasks in preventing costly errors, oversights, or technical debt.
Small businesses must especially concentrate on aligning job functions that would support scaling agile programs. Synchronicity rather than size is the strength upon which small business best rely.
Area 4: Legacy
Small businesses do not normally carry the legacy of relied-upon traditions that may not necessarily fit well into new agile criteria. In respect to agile and agile scaling, newness and smallness is once again an advantage of small business over larger organizations. Larger organizations often require that traditional roles and structures be replaced. It is also more difficult for organizations without a history of team interactions to transition to agile. Small businesses are generally lighter in structure and less defined in culture, allowing for an initial advancement into modern lifecycle management processes that is free of detracting legacy.
Area 5: Complexity
Scaling agile in the large-scale perspective of extensive organizations brings about characteristic challenges as to program size, data volume, integration, and complexity of tools and process. Larger projects present a challenge to team members as to interpersonal trust and relationships. When a team misses a sprint, they discuss how to solve the problem. When sprints are missed within a scaled program, program area managers talk about what to do with teams and project managers.
It’s critical that team members understand why and how each team task fits into the scaled program. It is also crucial that each team member understand their power to control and contribute to team functions, as well as the importance of keeping tasks well-directed and on schedule.
Small businesses are better able to rally their production membership around professional interactions that are productive and mutually supportive.
One of the greatest complexities in software development is the customer. The key to translating the complexities of customer responses into engaging innovation is, from the response to what the customer wants, extract what the customer needs. ‘Reading’ the essence of customer responses leads innovators from ‘desire’ to ‘essential for engagement and satisfaction’.
Area 6: Size the Team to the Project
Concisely staffing the agile team with the precision talent for the most efficient software delivery is the key to successful deployment. The larger the project size, the greater the risk of confounding or diluting the team setup and probably the project outcome. Smaller teams in smaller businesses can talk out challenges and differences for more substantiated conclusions.
Self-organizing teams encourage team members to ‘own’ the team and team responsibilities for higher quality team performance. The team owns the backlog, with the most efficient teams sizing themselves per the backlog size. Team members discuss team decisions among each other and with the project manager.
The team is the primary tool for production. Sizing the team to the project means the team contains just enough members to accomplish the project purpose, no more; no less. Teams sized correctly within a scaling agile program can more usefully implement responses to such questions as, “What should we be doing here?”, “How well does this component work there?”, “Would this work better on the left side?”
In a small business workplace, teams can more quickly and thoroughly view organizational prerogatives, more specifically allowing the team to size itself by observation of need and requirements. Mutual trust that agreed-upon decisions will be implemented is a chief scaling agile requirement that is most easily exhibited in the familiarity of a small business setting.
Area 7: Socialize to Advertise
Social engagement has long been a proven way to attract consumer interest. Now social engagement is online. Social networking allows small businesses to place their brand before consumers on a level and within a milieu consummate with the size of their organization. Development projects can choose to design software and software innovations in keeping with social media being a strong initial target for release.
One prime advantage in building towards a release into social media is that social networking is a real-time experience – the ‘3-D’ impact of interactive communication. The visually interactive impact of social media exposure encircles software releases with instant engagement.
Feedback from social media contributes quick and valuable insight into consumer behaviors and demographics. A small team with a simple initial release, or update, and a visually impactive design, would likely see significant successes in delivery by introducing the product into social media.
Keeping the Program Intact
Often the Scaling Agile Program is an ad hoc endeavor to coordinate the functions of large software builds. However, once the build is complete operational progress must be continuously monitored. Monitored results create scenarios for updates and subsequent versions. The program must remain data-informed as to the efficiency of operations.
The lack of industry-based advice for combining agile projects into scaling agile programs has led to the creation of scaling frameworks that merely offer a set of generic practices. Experience in Agile models can help in understanding how to expand and consolidate agile projects into scaled programs. Learning from the experience of industry comrades and optimizing production around customer feedback are also paths that lead to increased knowledge of scaling agile. | <urn:uuid:a17fb135-ce85-4e06-91aa-825398319a6d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.getzephyr.com/insights/scaling-agile-your-small-business | 2019-07-20T04:27:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.933878 | 2,183 |

Answer – Yes, an advance medical directive is an important piece of one’s estate plan. One of the fundamental rights enjoyed by every American is the right to bodily integrity; individuals have the right to decide what treatment they receive and what treatment they refuse. No one can do anything to an individual’s body that they do not authorize. The advance medical directive is an important legal tool that continues this protection after a person is no longer capable of making reasoned judgments. Recent changes in Virginia law have now established that the advanced medical directive is the primary means by which one controls what happens to oneself from the moment one is found by a physicians to be incapacitated until either recovery or death. Because this is often the period in which one requires the most extensive medical treatment, it only makes sense for individuals to make their wishes clear beforehand. | <urn:uuid:4337086f-ef97-4fc5-9012-8f03b6c328f4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hooklawcenter.com/2012/08/ | 2019-07-20T04:42:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.966451 | 173 |

In recent times, the demand for a population control law has been gaining momentum. Various people, primarily from the ‘Right-wing’ have attributed the cause of many issues that we face today to overpopulation.

सभी युवाओं से अपील है की वो बढ़ती जनसंख्या के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाने का शपथ ले और समाज को जागरूक करे।
बढ़ती जनसंख्या आपके रोज़गार और शांति को छीन रहा है।
बढ़ती जनसंख्या आपके हिस्से का विकास और आपका अमन चैन छीन रहा है।

While I have no reason to doubt the honest intentions of those advocating for such a law, I believe they are profoundly misguided and thinking very short-term. Regardless of any political differences that we might have, giving a government, any government, the power to decide how many children one should have could have catastrophic consequences. No government should have that much power, no government should be able to determine the number of children its citizens should have. Decisions limiting procreation are not for the government to make.
The concerns regarding population control is motivated largely, it appears, by the growing rate of Muslim population in the country. Prashant Patel Umrao, writing for Organiser, states, “Bharat has the third largest Muslim population next to Indonesia and Pakistan. We’re home to 10 per cent of the world’s Muslim community with 172 million Muslims (2011 census). There is a threat not only to the economic stability of our nation but also to social fabric due to the future disproportionate growth of Population. The other communities, on the other hand, understand the simple logic that limited resources can be ideally shared when there are fewer members. They believe in giving their children quality life. So encouraging them to procreate more won’t help at all. In such a situation the feasible option left is a coherent approach to holding back the population explosion which we severely lack. The disproportionately high population would be seriously baffling for our nation, leading to a high crime rate, tarnishing the social fabric, creating chaos in entire administration and thus cascading grave problems; burdening the government and our limited resources. So population control law becomes imperative in the national interest.”
I understand that these are not entirely misplaced concerns as an unstable religious demography is a recipe for chaos for any country. However, it is the one thing that a population control law will never solve.
The secular state has shown time and again that it is unwilling to implement laws equitably against the minority community. For instance, a non-bailable warrant was issued against Shahi Imam Bukhari in 2013 by a local court for not appearing before the court for violation of the model code of conduct but he was never arrested. Sometimes, authorities have to rope in Maulvis and Maulanas to even ensure that Muslims do not commit power theft and pay their bills on time. Under such circumstances, it’s extremely naive to assume that Muslims will be forced to obey any population control law.
If the expectation is that the entire might of the state machinery will be used to implement the said order, then it’s naivete of the highest order. Just compare the intensity with which the Indian police is dealing with those bursting firecrackers in Diwali and the manner in which the Police abdicated their responsibility of providing security to citizens at all costs when Muslim mobs rampaged across the streets of West Bengal against Hindus. The Indian state cannot even deport illegal immigrants from the country and certain people expect them to enforce a population control law, it is quite ridiculous.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the political party you favour will stay in power forever. Therefore, any political party that perceives the minority community as its vote-bank will turn a blind eye when they break the population control law and selectively enforce it against Hindus with the objective of enlarging their own vote-bank at the expense of another party. The selective enforcement of the law against Hindus is likely to happen anyway regardless of which political party in power considering the track record of the Indian state. Seriously, a state whose administration has to rope in clerics to ensure the payment of electric bills and discourage electricity theft cannot be expected to strictly enforce the population control law which will obviously incur far more retaliation.
Other reasons cited for such a law include corruption and increasing competition for limited resources in the future. These arguments are not based on objective observable facts either. There are more than seven billion people living in the world at this moment and we are far richer, far more prosperous than any human civilization has ever been in recorded history. Fatalists have often argued in the past that the population explosion would cause humans to go extinct by 2000, they have all proven to be hilariously off target.
India’s problem is not overpopulation and really, what are the objective standards by which we measure what overpopulation is? India is not uniformly populated. There are areas where the population density is far more than it should be but the cause of it is rapid urbanization and the opportunities that urbanization presents. Rural India is fairly sparsely populated. Why should Arunachal Pradesh which had a population density of 17 in 2011 be made to pay for the fact that Delhi’s population density was over eleven thousand?
It is preposterous to think there is a possibility of anything good coming of the proposed population control law. The Rightwing has been vociferously criticizing the Judiciary for issuing unimplementable judgments and yet they are advocating for a law that is harebrained from the very offset. It is potentially catastrophic. Just as atheists shouldn’t have the right to enter Temples by violating its traditions, you should not have the right either to decide how many children others can have. We should know better than giving that power away to political parties whose sole objective is winning elections. “We do not want the government to control our Temples! But the government deciding how many children I should have makes perfect sense!” It’s ridiculous.
How else do we stop the fast-changing demographic shift underway due to the minority community having far too many children? I do not know. But the solution is surely not preventing Hindus from having as many kids as they want to. The population control law will provide political parties with the opportunity to legally engineer a populace that is more viable to its own interests. They can effectively manufacture an electorate that is more suited to their own interests. That is not a power that we want to give any political party. Such a law could and would spell doom for the nation if it is ever implemented and we should all refrain from advocating for a such a misguided proposition.
